Cat bite... from Ally Cat TWICE!! #33

[jennielynn1970]

I've had a raccoon bite before while feeding 20+ feral cats - I am known to not faint but I fainted nauseaously about 10 minutes later. next thing I was woken up in the hospital, they told me it was my body reacting to dirt raccoon spitted inside me.

HOLY COW!!! I can't even imagine what that sucker felt like!!

[Donnaj4962]

Oh my Jenn, I am so sorry that you were bitten. I am certain that Ally is very sorry... after all, she came up after and rubbed on you!

I hope you are soon feeling better, and that the bite gets no worse.

Poor you... and poor Ally.... she must be so very confused.

I always tell my girls when they look as if they are going to bite... "Never bite the Mommy hand that feeds you!"

[jennielynn1970]

It happened so quickly, I swear, I was just in shock when she did it!! There was no warning or pretext to it what so ever!

If the Darvocet isn't working for you try some Aleve (if you are not allergic to aspirin products). It contains different pain medication and it might help.

[jennielynn1970]

Ok, so, I'm on the floor, just filled up the food, changed the water, and pilled Calloway. Ally was walking around doing little mew like noises. She's rubbing on my knee, on my flip flop, and then WHAM!! She grabs my freaking foot!! What the hell?!

Granted it's not nearly as bad as my hand is, but geez!! I'm not even touching her and she bites! Do I need to wear armor to go in there to spend time with the kitties???

I have bandaids on my foot, but I have to go back to the ER for my hand, which is what I was just getting ready to do before she bit me again. My hand feels hotter around the puncture sites, and they're a little red, but I think that it will check out ok. I hope so. Still hurts like heck, and I can't straighten my hair!! My hand better be better by monday cause I need to have good hair to go to work in... those middle school kids are ruthless!!

Does she think she is trying to play, or what? OMG.

I hope you have a chance to try some of that calming stuff on her...she may even need a mild tranny...

I wonder if it's worth contacting the pet psychic, Nancy. I would even chip in...would be nice to know what she is thinking....

I wonder if she would be ok as an only cat?

Maybe Julie can provide some insight at some point.

[jennielynn1970]

Oh she definitely doesn't think she's playing. She ran to the little stool by the window and sat there looking at me. All I did was walk over and say "That was naughty!" and she crouched down like she expected me to punish her or something. I didn't of course! I use words, and that's it.

I feel sorry for her. I have the collar on her with the At Ease stuff on it, plus I sprayed it on the towel she likes to sleep on on the one chair in there as well. I know it will take time to kick in.

Gonna go run to the ER for a checkup and then to PS for a refill of the Comfort Zone. As for a tranny, I don't know about you, but I'm really not wanting to get to close to that mouth again!!

[jenluckenbach]

I think ARMOR might just be a good idea!!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Jenn, I'm so sorry to hear that Ally bit you again. I hope that the comfort zone will work and that both your hand and foot will get better quickly.

[catnapper]

Oh no!!!! I guess that means you're not coing to tomorrow's adoption event Just kidding! I would hope you'd stay home and tend to yourself. (((hugs)))

I wish there was some way to get into her mind. Have you thought of a psychic? It was an impressive experience when I had someone read Allen and Pouncer.

Do you have any place where Ally could be confined alone for awhile?
Might do you both good right now. She could have a place to relax & so
could you. maybe she still needs a little space from everyone.

[sandragonfly]

oh goodness.. what was her tail like when she did this? and bit your hand too?

you poor thing. is there any spacious spot where she can stay in for a while now? still recovering from trip, do you think??

The only places I have left are closets. Not the ideal chill out spot.

[jennielynn1970]

Nancy Efrusy sent me an email back and said that she'll try to get to me by next week at the latest. SIGH.... that's a long time to wait on this.

[Catty1]

Does this mean you can't send a picture till then?

Hang tight, it's worth the wait.

You'll heal some more, and hopefully Julie can pop in and give some feedback.

I think taking the frisky girl out of the room was a good idea. Autumn sounds like a wonderful little kitty! I hope she finds her furrever home soon!
