Hello!
Our cat came in yesterday with black spots on its fur.
They’re paving the road nearby and that’s the only thing I can think of.
The coat is really rough in places.
Is there a shampoo we can use?
Or should we just shave off the fur completely?

Hey!
Carefully inspect the paws and skin and keep an eye on the cat’s general condition.
Hot asphalt can cause serious burns to a cat and in the worst case they can be life threatening.
I think it is very difficult to get rid of asphalt if it is what is in the coat so I think shaving it off is the best option.
Hope everything goes well with your cat!
Please let us know how it goes!
