I used to feed raw ground chicken that I ground myself and froze most. I still think that’s ideal but it became too difficult for me. Now my cat eats 2 meals a day of roasted chicken. She’s almost 9, in the best of health, only to the vet for spaying and recently had infected anal gland that cleared up.

Aw, poor baby 
Sorry to hear this! Healing thoughts!
Z is on a prescription allergy diet right now of hydrolyzed protein. Not long enough to see if it works. The allergy doc may change everything.
Oh, so sorry that your little cat is going through that. I share your hope about the veterinary derm.
FWIW, we took care of my mom’s lovely senior dog who was suffering from skin issues at the time. I changed her food and her condition improved dramatically. A lingering bit of the condition cleared up with help from a med. So, sending hope!
Thank you! Little guy doesn’t deserve this…
Hope all went well and you got Answers!
Well, a start at least. The vet was a bit perplexed due to Ziggy’s young age. Took some skin scrapings to be sent to lab. Starting out w/ cyclosporine and something to rule out parasite hypersensitivity. Return in 1 month. Biopsy may come next, plus perhaps treating the other cat.
Hope Ziggy gets some quick relief!
My dearly departed corgi used to use his cone to play a form of jai alai and loved it.
How would any of us like it if we had to wear a tuba bell around our heads? 
yeah I know it’s a trumpet but there’s no tuba emoji.

We got this more comfortable pillow for Matisse when he got neutered (mainly because we were tired of being jabbed in the leg with those large hard plastic cones 
).
Ya got me!!!
That almost looks like Matisse is about to embark on an international flight! Certainly cozier than those darn cones!!!
I actually use a similar pillow for my neck when laying on the couch watching TV. It’s nice and firm for my neck. I just don’t velcro it closed
