He does not like to fight, and he came hurtling in when I opened the front door, as it was happening on the front. He rarely goes out on "the front" which is where the road is. Anyway he must have done, and somecat jumped on him. He's a bit shocked. I tell him always to go out the back where there are nice acres to roam in. Never go out the front, although a car an hour would be unlikely. I don't know if he's been bitten by this cat, or even if the fight was his fault. I want to say it isn't his fault, but who knows if they are enemies in what is my garden and what is his its nothing to do with our boundaries. I hope he's OK! Will he let you check him over for bites? Yes, probably, I will wait until tomorrow. He's gone to his bedroom and I will leave him there. He is not a fighter and he is shocked, let him sleep to get over it. He's like me. We want a quiet life. A preventative dose might be in order. Claw marks might not be easy to detect and abcess can take a while to develop. By-the-way, that is what "dirty old tom cats" do (the kind you were wishing for) -- they fight other males for domina nce My wish for a dirty old tom cat, as you call them, was only because I would like to transform the d o t's life. He'd be neutered and would have a happy life here. Anyone can adopt a cute kitten. It does not make a difference to a sad life if you adopt a perfect cat. The fact that I wished for a dirty old tom did not make one come here and fight Boyfriend. It could have been any cat, neutered or not. It could have been a fierce girlcat like KFC! Tweed Yes, Christina, I have been the caretaker of innumerable cats in my life. They have all been adoptees or strays or ferals. I have seen horrible abcesses among the ferals. We also lost our ginger tom to an bad abcess that would not heal. This was before antibiotics. I like to think I did make a positive change in the life of the cats. Sadly, I learned that you can't save them all. At one time a stray tom sneaked into the house and snatched a newborn kitten from its mother. She fought it like a tiger. The kitten, however died, but she did save the rest. And that's why I'd prefer to rescue an unneutered tom. To stop that sort of thing happening - and to make his life better by giving him the snip. |
