Why does my cat keep scratching the wound?

If the wound is itchy, fleshy or festering, it may cause the cat to scratch and lick. This phenomenon mainly occurs in large or severely damaged wounds, which are caused by the wound reaching the dermis. If the cat keeps scratching the wound, it may cause the wound that is already healing to split again. Therefore, it is important to put a collar on the cat to prevent the cat from licking and scratching the wound. If the cat's wound is scratched and splits again and bleeds, it needs to be treated in time.
