Question From A Co-Worker....

[elizabethann]

How old is the daughter?

She just graduated from college so I'm thinking 22?

The only way to test an animal for rabies is euthanization and study of the brain.

Poor kitty.

I am thinking this cat might be like a few others - they like to "ambush" their owners! Though if this girl wound up at the hospital, it's a pretty severe case.

Hard to say if it is behavioural....I hope a vet visit is in order for that cat. If it's an unneutered male, neutering might fix the problem.

Any news from your co-worker on what happened?

I had a cat once that would attack you for no reason. And I don't mean the playful attack, either -- my younger sister has scars on her legs from attacks from this cat. She did nothing to provoke it either, just walked across the family room nowhere near him and he would run and attack her legs. It happened to others, too, my sister just got the worse of it.

I came home from work one day, and he was gone. My mother says she dropped him off at the shelter.

So... I know this doesn't help you and my sister didn't go to the hospital because of her injuries but we went through a similar situation.
