Thank you Pav :hug: He is doing very well and it has not happened again. It could have been a change of pouch, he shares a gourmet perl with Parki every day. They usually have chicken but bought some beef ones but now back to chicken after I read your post about food allergies. He also gets quite stressed when other cats come in the garden but since Parki has started chasing them away this has improved.

I will take him to the vets if it happens again.

That has crossed my mind too :( Think it will be best to get him to the vet for a check up :)

Thanks Pav. :hug: In the last week I gave him a few pouches of gourmet perl beef which he does not normally have, so that might fit in :shify:

Oh Alison first thing came to mind was Fleas but if Archie don't have any then it may be food allergy?
Sending some gentle hugs for Archie :hug:

Archie does get little bald patches on his tummy from time to time. He also has scaly skin and was at vets recently and told this is ok . He does not have fleas either.

This morning a lump of fur came off his back and wondering if anyone has an idea of what this is :-:

Off to work now but back at lunchtime
