Nonononononononononono!!!!

My youngest cat...Lester. He's sick.

He hasn't been eating the past few days. He's not fat, either. He's a bony little guy.

We were worried at first, but then Mom tried giving him treats, and he ate THOSE. Mom laughed and said he was being like a little kid. If they'll eat desert, they're just being fussy, and he'll eat when he's hungry.

But it's been three days now and he's still just picking at his food dish. And yesterday afternoon Mom found that a chunk of fur was missing between his shoulder blades.

It's gotten bigger over the last day. Now it's a round bald spot the size of a quarter. He can't have done that in some sort of mishap, so it's falling out.

I'm afraid to look up what's wrong with him. But I was rather under the impression that losing round chunks of fur/hair is generally a Very Bad Sign. He has an appointment with the vet's tomorrow.

Please don't let him be sick. Please let him be okay. Please don't let my kitty die. Please.

All I knew was that she was getting skinnier and skinnier, I didn't notice any other symptoms. Worried, I took her to the vet, who took one look in her mouth and proclaimed, "I think I know the problem."

I fed her high-calorie kitten food for some time after that to get her back up to a resonable weight. Now she's just perfectly fine.

Okay, thank you very much.
