Glad Tolly is on the mend - I know Max was bitten on the leg by a neighbour s cat one Christmas and by evening he was off his food, moping, crying when touched and he needed anti biotics etc. My other cat Smudge though, same cat involved, big mean Tom that was nt neutered (so annoying for me as he constantly picked on other cats) came in one morning covered in fresh blood, and I mean covered. He was tabby and white and his white chest was scarlet. He sat and cleaned his paws very unconcerned that I was having a screaming fit and my son looked closer and saw a bite. The vet said it was so deep in the chest cavity he did nt know if it had even affected his heart, dosed him up etc and told me to keep him in and take him back the next day. Yet Smudge showed no signs of illness or pain and wanted to go back out not long after. (Needless to say, he did nt for a few days.) Amazing the different pain thresh holds there. Smudge used up all his nine lives and then some. What a nuisance an un neutered Tom can be though. (my neighbours.) Jan x
