He's got a couple scratches next to his ear, one on his cheek, another on his chest, and one of his nails have been half ripped out so its poking it a different direction. He'll get rid of that in the next day or so since its happened before and he always deals with it quickly. My problem now is waiting to see if any of the cuts become infected. I Should know in a week or so. Its pretty much 50/50. If it does happen then theres a few hundred dollars gone on the vet again. I say again because he's had cuts become infected in the past. A couple times really nasty infections. One of the really bad ones was on his other cheek so I'm pretty paranoid as you may have noticed.
So yeah, I'm going to be in a state of stress until I know whether he'll be fine or not. Why the hell cant he be like other cats. I've got friends who have cats who never get into fights. Like ever. And the very few times it happens they never get infectioned wounds. My one though, I've spent thousands on him at the vet. Worst one was when I had to spend about $1200. Its not the money that bugs me. Its him getting hurt. That $1200 one his cheek got infected which seeped in to his gums and infected more there. Doctor had to remove his back teeth during the operation and said theres a chance he could develop cancer from it so I should think twice before spending that much money. I dont think he liked the look I gave him when he said that. I dont give a shit how much I spend, I just want him healthy. Thankfully he never developed cancer which surprised the vet. And I must state the vet is top grade too which is why I go to him.
He's a very lucky cat though. Sure he's had a few infections over time but during all that he should of lost one ear, his tail, and developed cancer. Never happened. Especially the tail when he broke it long ago. Usually the tail breaks and it just hangs limply and not often heals again, so you have to get it removed. His healed after a month which again surprised the vets. I spoil him rotten and I think my brain will just shut down when he does actually die, but for now he's still very strong and amazing and I never enjoy seeing him hurt. But yeah, positive thoughts.
I may not know anything about cats/pets in general, but can't you apply some antiseptic cream to the cuts? Might be better than just waiting around to see if they get infected...
ReplyDeleteI would but they've healed over. Cats heal really fast so I missed my opening since I wasnt home when it happened.
ReplyDeleteYou confused me when you said that your 'Car' had a fight .. oh well I eventually figured it was Cat instead. I had some experiences like that with my cat too, once when she was just a little kitten she had a fight with this huge male cat, and he almost bit her tail off, and it got infected and stuff and the vet said she might lose the tail, but today her tail is in once piece =)
ReplyDeleteDamnit, fixed the spelling error thanks. And good to hear your cat still has her tail.
ReplyDeleteI swear that cat is thinking...
ReplyDeleteINUYASHA?!
KAGOMIIIII
INUYASHA?!
My cat fell of a third floor two time, the first time nothing bad happens, the second was worst, we go to the veterinary, and they say that she just have two options, try to recover in home or get sacrificed. Obiously we choose the first one. Glad of that, shes now running and jumping perfectly, the bad thing is that she can't have sons, but that's a small price for her life.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, sorry for my bad English, I'm Spanish.
I just lol'd at a couple of my own fails. ONE PIECE*
ReplyDeletei hope your cat feels better, my cat was in a fight before we picked him up and he got bit real bad on the back, we had to give him this drink for awhile then he got better. I'm sorry i was 7 yrs old at the time so i don't know the details.
ReplyDeleteJust out of curiosity, what was your interpretation of the ending of Inception?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I hope your cat recovers. My cat passed away over a year ago and I still think about him from time to time. I wouldn't wish the feeling on anyone I had when I learned he died.
Ending, and if people have seen it yet they shouldnt read this. The little spinny thing was teetering before the camera went off. In the fake world its perfectly balanced while spinning so he's back in the real world. But thats really not the important part. What was significant was that he chose to see his childrens faces where as before he would turn away, which showed that he finally left everything behind him and could move on with his life again, content to not care if it was real or not. Its meant to be a character study sort of thing. At least thats what slapped into my head after it finished.
ReplyDeleteOne of my cat's seems to get in a fight every month, he gets wounded but he usually heals on his own. The other one never gets into fights. Hopefully Kyo will heal up well.
ReplyDeleteMy cat got a really bad infection from a scratch once. He got scratched on the ass, in front of his tail on his back, and grew big nasty boils. Took him a wile to heal, but he's fine. The funny thing is that the other cat that gave him the nasty scratch was is own mum! He was hardly a year old, and she attacked him, and still does.
