Cat wrapping is an art form  ;D :cat: :o ;D

That can't be a real cat - where are the ten thousand whirling claws, not to mention the look of total betrayal?  ;D

Sorry folks - it's been mad here (yes, more than usual  ::) :D)
The vet reckons it's been a cat fight (so that let's the neighbour's dog off the hit list  :D) The leg's not broken, but there is an infection and it's possibly around the joint  :-\
Superstrong antibiotics and an anti-inflamitory and he's managing to put weight on it now  :thumbsup:
She's hopefull that it'll be enough to fix the problem, but we've to give it a week to 10 days to see for sure.
Lots of reiki and cuddles for Mr T for the forseeable (not that he's objecting  ;))
Thanks for your good wishes  :-*

Great news that the leg isn't broken.  Here's hoping for a speedy uncomplicated recovery for the little chap.  Lots of  kitty e-cuddles ((((( :cat: ))))) from Yorkshire.

Oh that's good news HH, that it's not actually broken.  We've all been worried about the wee man  :cat:   Keep up the cuddles and reiki  :thumbsup:

Glad to hear Mr T is ok.

I have heard of foxes attacking and killing cats, mainly city foxes though. Our two cats got into a bad fight when we lived in London, vet thought it may have been a fox. I always tried to make sure they were in over night.

Hope Mr T recovers quickly!

visiting toms can be killers  we once had the head bitten of a kitten  definitely a tom cat done it  it did not get to spread its genes any more      foxes like to roll on a dead cat  :farmer:

 :bouquet: Mr Tumble.  Cat bites are very dirty, so he'll need those antibiotics, poor wee fella.  Glad he seems to be on the mend.  :-*

Yes he is NM, thanks for asking  :thumbsup: :-*
He's made such a good recovery that he can go and get castrated :innocent:  :roflanim: Don't think he'll love me much after that  ::) But if it reduces the chance of another cat bite which gets infected it's a small price to pay  ;)

I'll try and get a photo of him later, he's a beautiful boy now - though that wasn't the case when he arrived just after Xmas as a wee 4 or 5 week old stray, riddled with worms and fleas and just hours from death's door, but luckily he pulled through  :relief:

Henry....(have you seen Henry, I posted a piccie of him on the Members forum, if not see below) is such a daddy's boy that I told my hubby that he will have to take him to the vets to have his bits off. That way, I may stand a chance of getting some affection from him! He only wants to know me when he wants feeding!

Isn't that always the way with men ?  ::) ;D

Henry's gorgeous  :love: :cat: He looks a bit like my Misty but she's more brown and beige but her eyes aren't as piercing as his - how do you ever manage to say no to him  :innocent:

Here's Mr T in his favourite spot (wherever is most in the way  ;))
