Thermal Imaging
Overview of Thermal Analysis
This section documents the use of an infrared (thermal) camera to capture and record unusual heat signatures, in order to provide visual evidence of temperature increases inconsistent with normal physiological or environmental conditions.
There are some thermal images of cats online which I was able to use to compare with these images of Roxy taken on May 13, 2025. At the time these photos were taken, Roxy's ears have fresh damage from repeated heating and burning, but she was not at this time, in visible pain. So my assumption was that her ears would have been relatively normal, as far as heat signatures. In fact, her ears still seem to be hot compared to other photos of cats.
I was particularly surprised to see that photographing myself, areas on my face and neck where there had been a significant amount of tissue damage and visible aging over the past 8 years, were showing higher heat signatures than on surrounding tissues. This suggests continuing attacks to my head and neck, even though I cannot always feel them (though often, I can feel them).
Results: These images indicate that higher-than-normal heat signatures are associated with tissue damage on my face and on Roxy's ears.
