Hi Michelle,
I've grown up with cats (and dogs too), but we did have one develop problems like you are describing. I don't know if it's exactly the same, since I can't see the sore spots, but when this happened to one cat, it turned out to be a parasite. Bad news on that is that it requires a trip to the vet, a test and some medicine, all of which costs a bit of money. Good news is that once we got the medicine everything cleared up swimmingly. So, I would try the things that you can get from the pet store and watch for improvement, but if kitty continues to get worse, you may want to go into the vet and ask about it. I don't remember the name of the parasite, but it seemed to be a somewhat common thing. Good luck and hope kitty gets better soon. Caffrey and Stoli - my two kitties - send hugs!
