Doing brilliantly.
I had another suggestion from my friend Pauline about how his injury could have happened. Barbed wire or razor wire on top of a fence. Razor wire is illegal here but as this is a very low crime area it's unlikely that anyone would use it, that barbed wire is responsible is not beyond the bounds of possibility. But I think not. Barbed wire would give him a serious gash but not to that extent. My money is still on broken glass. Tweed |

Tweed Well, he was out for a few minutes but 10pm is time for his sprinkles of dry so he came in for that And he Isn't Going Out until Morning. I can assure you of that. Vet says he is fine to go out, and he is. But he's had a dreadful injury and I decide what is safe for him. |

He sounds like he's perfectly ok now - I think it's safe for our heart rates to go down now, and hopefully he stays away from abandoned garages and greenhouses, or wheever it was that he found himself. |

Tweed In parts of the U.S. we have rather large Snowy Owls (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowy_Owl#Hunting_and_diet) . One of these attacked a Russel Terrior, which is bigger than the average cat. Extensive damage was don between beak and talons. During my Googling, I came across; "Unlike most other owls, the snowy owl hunts during the day feeding on small mammals such as lemmings and hares" The dog must have put up a good fight, because the owl hung around in neighborhood trees for a few days. These owners also had to put out 'big bucks' to have the dog stitched back up. My daughter is a neighbor of theirs. HTH Sylvia |

I don't doubt that a large owl could do serious damage to a housecat, but I think the vet said that there was no evidence of any kind of animal attack. -- Joyce Cats' hearing apparatus is built to allow the human voice to easily go in one ear and out the other. -- Stephen Baker |

We don't have owls in the UK that are big enough to prey on cats. http://www.owls.org/Information/uk_owls.htm That settles it, then! Actually, if one of our owls swooped down on Boyfriend, he'd be bringing it to me to eat for my breakfast. None of them weigh more than 1lb. We don't really have anything that preys on cats (except some foxes, although it's unusual, but not unheard of) I immediately blamed a fox and so did the vet until he'd examined him thoroughly. Nothing suggested anything other than somehow hurting himself on something sharp. Besides, the Boy is used to seeing foxes in my garden - they are always here at night hoping to get into my chicken hut (bad luck) so he knows how to avoid them by going up a tree or coming home Although 2 cats have been killed by foxes near here (witnessed by their owners) in the last ten years I doubt Boyfie would allow himself to get in that position. See fox - go up a tree. I hadn't know before he went after a squirrel actually how fast he could go up a tree. Literally 2 seconds He missed it :-( Tweed |
