I’m not complaining about the fact that I only have to give Louis Catorze his spot-on once every three months. Really, I’m not. But what a shame it seems to be bleaching/staining (we’re not sure which) his once-black fur.
We fully expect the texture of the fur to change temporarily after application. We even expect the treated area to expand a thousandfold as the little sod tries to roll it off onto whatever absorbent surface he can. But this is very strange indeed:
I have written to the manufacturer to ask if this is normal. I’ve not told the vet yet, because they’ll only ask me to bring Catorze in – and, now that the local branch has closed for redevelopment, the thought of dragging his screaming arse all the way to Hounslow for a non-emergency really doesn’t appeal. His boosters are due in a couple of weeks, so perhaps we will mention it then. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the fur were to mysteriously turn black during the car journey there, only to revert back to white when we return home.
If anyone else has a Chat Noir/Foncé who has experienced the same thing with a spot-on treatment, I would love to hear from you.
