    The most horrible thing happend today. While I was at work, a bug man that was coming by my house accidently let in the "feral" cat into my house, and the result was horrible. He attacked Sydney and we think he has hurt her badly. My dad was at the house and he was supposed to keep track of Hercules (the wild one), while the bug guy sprayed, but unfortunatly did a bad job. My dad called me at work, to tell me this horrible news (I am stuck here till 3:30). She is in a closet and refuses to come out. My dad says he has no idea how long Hercules attacked her, but that he didn't see any blood on her (although she wont let him near her). I am just so angry - this was exactly what she didnt need. She needed to be stress free and healing, not brutily attacked! I love Hercules, but he is just such a hard cat to deal with. He is like the pitbul version of a cat - he is ferocious around other cats and will kill them if allowed (this is from his abusive past). I adpoted him because he was going to be put to sleep because he was "unadoptable". He is the sweetest around people, he just could never be around other animals or children. I had kept him completely segregated from the other cats, by making him his own room (equiped with animal planet). This arrangement has worked out well, except for the rare occasion someone lets him in. I even have a huge sign on the door stating, "Beware of Animal, Do NOT let out under any circumstances!" I am so very uspet. I am about to leave work and I will update everyone to how she is...Hopefuly she is not injured and just upset.
    Sincerely,
    Kat

    Oh my, I can certainly understand your worry! Hopefully, Sydney is ok and is just frightened by it. Is Hercules immunized?
    Blessings,

    Ok, so I have checked her and she has some teeth marks on her behind, but she appears to be ok. I called the vet and they told me to put some hydrogen peroxide on it, so I did - there was no foaming so it appears to not be infected yet. I think she is more shook up then anything. She wont let anyone near her but me. Hercules is up to date on all his shots and he has a clean bill of health, so there is no worry there. She isn't limping, so that is good as well, she just is really upset. I guess it was stressful more than anything. ***I am making a sigh of relief***
    Sincerely,

    Make sure to keep the wounds clean so it doesn't get infected and get abcessed. Believe me you don't want to deal with abcesses. I think Carole just successfully helped abcesses heal. I'll try to find the link to her thread and post it here. What stress we get from our furbabies. Here it is.

    OMG - I am glad she is physically okay! Poor baby...at least she knows who Mom is and where to get love and cuddles and soothing. I hope she settles down soon.

    I'm sure your dad feels bad...
