Cat keeps getting new cuts on tummy

Hello there! It sounds like your kitty might be getting into a bit of trouble with those cuts on her tummy. Let's explore a few possibilities together.



First, she might be scratching herself excessively due to itchiness, which can be caused by allergies, fleas, or skin infections. Another possibility is that she's rubbing against something sharp or abrasive, like a piece of furniture. Cats sometimes get into scuffles with other animals, too, which could result in scratches.



At home, you can check her surroundings for potential hazards and make sure she isn’t coming into contact with anything sharp. Also, take a close look at her skin for signs of irritation or fleas, like redness or tiny black specks. Keep her nails trimmed to minimize further injury.



Watch for signs like swelling, discharge, or changes in her behavior, such as hiding or excessive grooming, which could indicate an infection or more serious issue. If her cuts don't seem to heal or if they worsen, it's important to seek professional advice.
