What is cat ringworm?
Cat ringworm is a skin disease caused by fungal infection, mostly Microsporum canis, occasionally Trichophyton or Microsporum gypseum.

Severe itching leads to scratching and spread, and secondary infection causes inflamed, moist, red lesions.

Why Does a Cat’s Anal Gland Smell So Bad?
A cat's anal glands sit just inside the anus and release a foul fluid used for scent marking, easing stools, and defense when the cat is stressed. The stench comes from bacteria and compounds like indole; normally it passes with the stool, but express it during baths if constipation lets fluid build up.
Why Is the Fur Above Your Cat’s Eyes Thinning? It’s Often Normal
A bald patch above a cat's eyes is usually normal 'preauricular alopecia' — that brow area overlies scent glands and thins naturally, more so with age or in breeds like Siamese and Maine Coon. Worry only if the skin is red, scaly, or scratched: then rule out mites, ringworm, allergies, or thyroid/adrenal disease with a vet skin scrape.
Why does my cat keep twitching like it’s hiccupping?
A cat that twitches like hiccupping may have eaten too fast or has food stuck in the esophagus - it usually passes as the food goes down. It can also come from excess stomach acid, bloating, food buildup, slow gut movement or reflux esophagitis. If twitching is followed by regurgitation or vomiting, see a vet for possible esophagitis, pyloric stenosis or GI disease. Frequent twitching without vomiting may point to allergic asthma, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia or heart issues. Hairballs trying to come up cause this too - give hairball paste or cat grass regularly.
