My cat was severly injured sometime today - need some help/advice/support

meow meow

Damn... my babies are everything to me... Sounds like your cat is fine though- providing it hasn't gotten any worse. They're pretty tough and can take a lot.

Best of luck Vjo...

I foolishly let a girl I was dating keep her cat in my pool/patio enclosure while we spent the weekend at Epcot. Came back to $2000. worth of damage. Little shit fucked up half the screening.

Vjo, hope your kitty is ok

.

Good luck...hope he's ok

Hang in there... just show him lots of love. Animals are pretty resilient to injury. I had a dog that was stabbed in the shoulder and in the chest. The chest wound was pretty bad... the fricken vet made him wait all night and took him into surgery the next morning.
If you do end up having to leave your cat for over night observation, leave a sweater you wear in his cage so he has something with your smell on it. It helps a lot for the animals stress.

50 cat people

need catnip STAT

VJo!!!!!!

Sorry man JUST saw this when i got up, working late last night and I didn't check GFY!!

Hope your kitty Lucky is lucky and is doing okay. Please post an update here ASAP bro!

Little kitty prayers for Lucky.....

Let's hope he's back to rocking real soon!

hope everything is ok

He did not make it. He died on the way to the vet only 1/2 mile after we left my place.

He jumped around a couple times then suddenly stopped breathing with his eyes open.

When I got to the vet they checked and he was gone. He had about an 1/8 inch hole on the side of his neck. Almost surely a bite wound.

It was prob due to an animal attack. Poss a racoon. But I will never know. The bite may have penetrated the windpipe.

The girls at the vet thought he may have had a precondition where his immune system was bad and that is why the pus built up so fast. Then again it may have just been too severe a bite.

I then continued on to my friends and we buried him in the woods near his house near a big tree. My friend did all the digging work. We wrapped in in a blanket and did a little ceremony.

I have had cats since I was 19. I am 54 now. 35 years. So it is kind of tough. I don't think I will be getting another right away.

I want to thank every poster personally who wished me the best. It was a long tough night but your tips and help really helped and I want to sincerly thank each of you for your kindness when I needed it.

Your my family and I love you all.

sorry to hear

you did your best for him which I am sure he is grateful

So sorry to hear about that. My condolences. Never wait for your pets health unless you absolutely have to, I've learned that lesson.

wow that sucks was just coming here to see what happened. sorry to hear.

As a fellow cat lover I suggest you keep your future cats indoors. Not only can they get injured out there (and they will), but they also kill off a lot of native animals and breed like hell.

from reading the thread this morning I never thought it would end like this...
