Big panic, need calming purrs

Poor Boyfriend!! I hope he's OK! What could he have been fighting
with out there?? Purrs for his injuries, if he has any, to be superficial
and easily healed. But I'd recommend getting him checked out in any case,
just in case he's been exposed to something.

Purrs that BF's nerves will steady down, and more purrs that he is
frightened, rather than actually injured.

And purrs that you too, will calm down after the scare!

Lots and lots of purrs and best wishes for Boyfriend to be ok,

Chill Out & Get Better Soon purrs to Boyfriend from me & my lot, in
particular from Bandit who seems to act as a Tomcat-magnet: when
visiting the unspayed female 3 doors up they invariably come across him
and beat him up, maybe because he was neutered late and they suspect he
might still be a rival (he isn't).

I suspect you'll have trouble finding any wound, so the first sign might
be a little swelling (teeth & claws are bacteria-ridden) in which case
Aunty Biotic will be called for. Hope it doesn't come to that.

On the good side you've been so supportive of BF through this trauma
that you'll be drawn even more closely together as he trusts you more
deeply. Nice when that happens.

Purrs

Purrs for BF that it's not a serious injury, if any.

Very scary. You were brave to pick him up (wise??).

No bravery required. The day he scratches me will be the day he has rabies
or a brain tumour. The bravery was on his part because being picked up
scares him.


How about training
him to be a house cat?

He has only just become comfortable with the back door being shut which
denies him a quick escape. He doesn't have the temperament to be an indoor
cat, it would make him too afraid.

Purrs that whatever need healing will heal fast.

Thanks.

Tweed


Just a thought! Perhaps he might respond to hypnotism. If, over a period
of time, you fed him "indoor cat" thoughts every ..time you petted
him,...maybe he would get the idea. Anyway, it might be fun to try. MLB

Purrs that Boyfried is not injured.
