:( I'm so sorry this has happened. I was going to ask the same thing that some of the others have--do you have a copy of his vaccination records? We get the tag and a printed certificate to prove rabies vaccination. I hope everything works out okay.

Well... sorry I've been out all day since posting this. Mom is home, she filled her prescription for antibiotics, and says its just now startig to hurt... she didn't believe me that cat bites hurt like ths.... I told her to wait til tonight when the full pain kicks in.

As for the rabies certificate... I TRY to keep a record of all the vet bills, and rabies tags. It seems this is one receipt I lost :o I just CAN NOT understand HOW Allen is up to date on rabies, but Pouncer is NOT, when they both go to the vet for their yearlies TOGETHER. I am going to have to tear apart my files to find it. I have it....somewhere.

I spoke to the rescue and they've all been bitten by ferals where it was impossible ot determine rabies, and they think the hospital is just over reacting and covering their OWN butts since they didn't insist mom gets the rabies shots then and there. I only hope my vet also thinks its no big deal. This boy never steps paw outside. When I open the door to the outside, he hides BEHIND the door. I could leave the back door wide open for 24 hours and he'd still be sitting in the house. How an indoor only kitty could contract rabies in beyond me. They will most likely want a 10 day quarrantine - even if at my home. If any cat's been watched like a hawk, its Pouncer. I've been watching him for a week now to make sure he's peed and doesn't have a full baldder. No change in personality... unless you count him acting NICE lately ;)

I just now saw Pouncer for the first time all day.... he's obviously in serious pain. He just limps around growing at everything. He refused wet food. I was petrified to try getting a pain pill in him, but he took it without too much fuss. Of course I can't get hold of the vet til tomorrow morning. You better believe I'll be on the phone first thing tomorrow morning with the vet changing his appointment to tomorrow. They BETTER TAKE US~!

Oh Kim, I am glad we are updated but the outcome still is not satisfying :( Poor Pouncer! And your poor mom. Hope all of you will be able to spend a more or less quiet night!

I'm praying that you will find the receipt...I'm the same way as you when it comes to finding the exact receipt I need. It's ALWAYS somewhere that I don't normally put all my sales slips and ALWAYS the last place I look.

I cannot imagine what your mom is going through; it cannot be pleasant. Hope they gave her some pain pills, too.

And, Pouncer doesn't sound happy, either; poor guy, not able to tell you what's wrong.

Hugs to you all! (((((hugs)))) AGAIN! :(

Kim...hopefully he just bruised his foot. You have had a lot more experience with cats than me but I remember once my rb gigi was hiding under the bed hurt and we had no idea what happened to her. We still let her go outside at that time and I was sure she had been hit by a car, she would not move at all.


I took her to the vet and it was a bite from another cat, she got regulated to the indoors after that...the point of my rambling is when cats are hurt they can really let you know about it and the injury may not be as serious as you think, I am hoping its just a bruise.

Kim, I'm so sorry to hear about Pouncer and your mom too. :( Hopefully his leg isn't broken. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. I also hope that your luck changes as well because you've had too many bad things happening in your life lately. Please take care.

:eek: :( Kim, I'm so sorry you're going through all of this.

I hope that everything works out for the best. {{{{Hugs}}}}

Kim, I'm sorry to hear this about Pouncer. I hope he is okay and everything turns out alright for both of you.

I'm so sorry to hear about poor Pouncer !! (The pictures were cute, though.) I hope everything works out okay with the rabies situation. I hope Mom is okay too!

Thanks for the update. Poor Pouncer is just having a rotten week, isn't he? I hope the vet can see him tomorrow.

Poor Pouncer... poor mom.... AND poor you, Kim!!
Extra hugs from Belgium!!

Oh Kim, what a time you guys are having. Big hugs to you and that boy Pouncer. Hope your mum is doing ok.
Take care, thinking of you

I'm so sorry to hear Pouncer is in pain! :( Hope he will see his vet very soon. Boy, he's getting into trouble all the time! :eek:
