Cat Hurt - what to do

[The Mighty Elvi]

IF your on benefits you can take it to the PDSA, for free.

On a DIY note.  One of my springer spaniels sliced it paw open once on a tin can in the woods.  Blood everywhere.  Had to carry the thing home.

If you look at your right hand and imagine a 1.5 cm deep cut from the base of the thumb to the base of the little finger, you'll get the idea.

Here's what I did.  Cleaned out the cut, then I superglued the edges back, leaving a small gap at one end for fluid to escape.  Then bandaged.

Dog was none the wiser and it healed up very well over a few weeks.  Boy Scouts training FTW!

But Don't try this at home kids.

Hope the cat heals up OK haf1zur.

Elvi, is that how they fix up the Welsh rugby team?

I dont like cats :angry:creepy fookers
But you did right taking it to the vets

[haf1zur]

there is new razor wires put up by neighbours on their property overlooking the road, so guessing it was from there

IIRC this is actually illegal.

hmm, will have to read up on that, guessing the local authority will advise

thanks

If it is illegal, can you not send them the bill?

You'd have a hard time proving it obviously.

I just seem to remember reading somewhere about where a neighbour has cemented glass shards on to the top of a brick wall as he didn't like cats, so if they jumped up they would slice and dice their paws once they gripped to pull themselves up.

Iirc glass is illegal yes. but the razor wire is legal.

Police station near me has razor wire around the back fence (pointles considering it doesebt have a gate so yoy can just walk in there if you want )

Though could be wrong so ide still check up on it.

hope the cats ok

I think if the razor wire is below the top of the party wall and only on the side of the owners property then its OK.
A Neighbourhood Watch Liason PC told me that but then went on to suggest carpet grip on top of the wall, "but dont say I told you so"
 

[haf1zur]

The neighbour next to the one with the razor wire has glass shards on top of the walls, been there for around 20 years or so

It would be hard proving it i guess, but if i spot blood on the wires or glass i will have to investigate my options

Thanks for the help guys

Cat is waiting to be stitched up, has had a jab to numb the pain

Not sure what the bill will be though, even though its my mums, i am the one who pays the bills so will be my pocket stung

Doesn't look good

She's been kept overnight

Apparently:

Dehydrated
Cut is 3-4 days old
Mulnourished
Imminent Kidney Failure

Its been eating every day so wondering why its mulnourished, or could that be due to the cut being infected

Will find out tomorrow
