My cat is scratching above his eyes (under his ears) frequently and it is getting a little bit red. What would that be?
Scratching around the ears or eyes may indicate an allergy, or may even indicate a problem with the ears themselves such as an infection or ear mites (very common in cats). Signs of [ear mites](https://www.petcoach.co/cat/condition/ear-mites/) include dark or dirty debris that is black or deep red in appearance, or you may see other debris that is foul-smelling in the ears. Ear mites and infections usually require a sample being taken by the vet to determine the exact cause, as well as a regimen of [cleaning the ears](https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-clean-your-cat-s-ears-what-you-need-to-know/) with a medicated cleaner for 7-10 days. Ear mites can be spread to other pets, so treating any other dogs or cats in the house at the same time is best. If the ears are clear but you are seeing redness, it may indicate an allergy, or even possible problems such as [ring worm](https://www.petcoach.co/cat/condition/ringworm/) (which appear as a red "target" ring that will gradually incre

My male 2-year old cat has a redness around one of his teats. It looks red and raw. I have taken him to the vet who suspected a food allergy. She said the most common one is chicken although I have read that it is beef, dairy and seafood. I have been
Thank you for using Boop by Petco! Food allergies are a possibility in cats, however, fleas can also cause an allergic reaction that may look like this. Bacterial, fungal, and certain mites can also cause redness and itching, so a skin scrape would help make a diagnosis. Your vet can also recommend topical wipes, rinses, and ointments that may help with the itching and infection if present. I hope this helps and am happy to answer any other questions you may have!

Does this require medical attention or is it just allergies or could it be stress? My cat does not seem bothered by it at all. I'm thinking it may be stress caused from our newborn baby crying or maybe an ivy plant she got into recently. It started a
If Cali is behaving normally otherwise, you can try using an e-collar (cone) on her to prevent scratching or rubbing. This may allow time for healing. Also, check her over for fleas or flea dirt. If she is sensitive, just one flea bite could make her very itchy. A pheromonal product, such as Feliway spray or diffuser, may decrease any stress or anxiety due to your new addition (Congratulations, by the way!). Keep the Ivy out of reach if possible. While not high on the toxicity scale, ingestion or chewing of a leaf or two may cause irritation in and around the mouth and/or GI upset. Monitor for worsening of symptoms, squinting of the eye(s) or discharge. See your veterinarian for a physical exam to address non healing or additional symptoms.
