Cats in Boxes

4 lurkers | 100 watchers

leaguefreak Sep 2023 11:17pm, 4 Sep 2023 11,580 posts	0 leaguefreak Back home. My bed has a cat on it. Nice to be back to normal. It turns out our holiday visitor was a barn cat belonging to a local farm. Apparently she is definitely a she and has had at least one litter in the past. She seemed very healthy and welllooked after and her confidence with humans suggests she is very well treated. I was sad to hear they just call her "cat" but that's my human daftness. She is living the life of Riley. She has shelter and food and vet attention as needed and when she's bored of being a fierce independent lioness defeating all the meeces she pops to the holiday park next door to be scritched by the soft arse visiting townies.

Vet phoned, she has fungal and bacterial infection. So antibiotics extended and anti fungal on its way.

It’s swollen and sore but she’s still eating ok and not appearing poorly. Advice c/o t’internet says it’ll go down but watch in case of an allergic reaction. Several hours later she seems ok but a bit fragile, poor thing.
