First thing off to the vets with
Felix who came in last night with a bloody back foot and bits of loose fur. The claw has gone. We have antibiotics twice a day for 5 days and
painkilling syrup twice a day until it runs out.
"You can try cleaning his paw
with salty water, or epsom salts, if he'll let you" says the vet, not
volunteering to do so herself after seeing the size of his claws.
There seems to be a new cat in the
territory.
He had huge scratches across his nose last week, which just missed
his eyes. I think we shall be keeping him in a bit more for a while.
Miss
Doozer I
heard a right barney going on last night - thought I heard Felix's voice in
there.
Hope the little fella's OK, he does pick em... 😟
Mrs
Heath Aaah
poor thing, hope he's better soon xxxxx
Mrs
Elplates Our
cat got into a fight (we assume) and got his tongue sliced. V nasty at the time but all fine now. Hope Felix mends quickly.
Mrs
Lasagne Oh

Birdfoodlady Might be an obvious question but has he been neutered? We had an old tom (ex farm cat, we got him
aged at least 10 yrs) who used to be never out of the wars, until the vet said
that his heart was strong and why didn't we try neutering him? So we decided to
risk it, and he changed from being a fighter to a loveable, laid back pussy
cat.

The rescue
centre we got him from insisted he was neutered and chipped.
He came in about half ten, Miss Doozer, leaving little bloody foot prints on the kitchen floor
(and Fester's notepad on the office desk), had a little supper, came upstairs,
curled up on my dressing gown on the bed and didn't move until I brought the
cat basket upstairs to take him to the vet. He's slept most of today. Bounced around the kitchen at tea time until Fester let him out. He's back in for the
night now - whether he likes it or not - has eaten and had a bit of a wash. Next antibiotic and sleepy juice at 10pm.

Sending love
to Felix. Good luck bathing the paws. My semiferal let me bathe her when she had an
abscess and withdrew touching privileges when better- so you never know- he
might let you.

He's
brilliant as far as tablets and medicine is concerned: grab him by the scruff,
hold him up, shove 'em in (wrapped in pate or not) or squeeze in with a
syringe, and down it goes. No noise no
fuss. Matilda struggles, swears at you
continuously using the foulest language, spits it out at least twice and
drools.
