Poor Peggy hurt her paw!!! (new update #25 + new pics)

Holy cow... those marten suckers have some mighty pointy teeth! They look like a ferret in a way. I really really hope your mom keeps Peggy inside from now on!

Poor little girl; that must have hurt her bigtime. Sweet Peggy, please try to stay in or close to home. Those critters look dangerous.

Poor sweet Peggy. I'm hoping that the abcess draining on its own is a good thing and Peggy isn't in as much pain. Please give her some feel better scritchies and lovies from me? My prayers continue for Peggy's complete and speedy recovery with no complications.

Well, at least she's not allowed to go outside for the time being, but I wish I could convince my mother that Peggy is better off as a permanent indoor girl.

She's doing a bit better today. Her paw is less swollen and looks less infected, but it's still looking bad enough to give you a scare.

This was her yesterday when she was still feeling miserable and very ill. You can even see her third eyelid:






This was her paw today. The yellow color comes from the disinfectant:








Here, she just got up, and my mother comforted her:




In her favourite place on the window sill. She's showing more interest in the outside world now:




Two hours ago, my mother called to tell me that Peggy is demanding to go out. I heard her complaining on the phone. LOL She's definitely feeling better, and even tried to walk on four legs to convince my mom that she's well enough to go out - but it did not help her.

Those Look Liksome Seriously Mean Little Critters With Fangs, And We Have The Feeling That They Can Cause Most House Cats Some Serious Damages!!
Lets Pray That Peggy Has Learned Her Lesson And Gives Them Wide Bearth, Or Best Of All Stays Indoors From Now On.

I think your mom's vet should tell her about being indoor...and it would help Peggy if Dino was indoors also! Glad she is feeling well enough to try and 'fool' her mom!

Well, Dino is going nuts when he's indoors, espcially after Peggy moved in. He refused to enter the house, and when you take him inside, he's acting totally agressive. But I think there would be a chance to get Peggy accustomed to the life of an indoor cat. But my mother never listens to me! *sigh* She and Reinhold even tell me it's animal abuse to keep Luna and Lily inside!
