Oh, that's not good.

'Bit'?????  Just a playful grab or something more serious? Did cat put him in his place or was it a nasty 'bite'?

Wonder if he was locked up because of problems around stock etc.?


How is the hog?

He wasn't growling or anything but he did draw blood. To be honest, I'm not sure if it was aggressive or not, it wasn't obviously aggressive but obviously far too rough for play. He has always shown an interest in the cat but  hasn't gone so far as to physically bite him until last night.

The hog is still alive but hasn't moved to eat or drink so I think it might be hibernating?

Mmmm .... hope you gave him a big telling off.

Did you weigh the hog?

He might wake up to feed tonight. Can you pop some food in, in case?
