Guinness the c@t....as a kitten he was contantly put outside by his previous owners. This continued until he was 6 months old and came to live with me. He learned to be an "outside" cat and would come home each day when hungry, when cold, etc. He always knew where home was.
Guinness came home with a hole in his lower abdomen 11 days ago. Upon further inspection I saw the hole was a puncture wound and it was very puffy and inflamed. So off to the vet....turns out there were TWO puncture wounds and a bunch of sores and scabs all over him. The little bugger (ok, he's not little---14 lbs of cat!) had gotten attacked by something outside.
One rabies booster, one heavy duty antibiotic shot, one box of antibiotic liquid for 7 days, and one notice from the state later and Guinness is an "indoor" cat for 90 days! (DE state law when you are not 100% positive what caused the damage).
We're at 79 days and counting and I may just have to kill him if he doesn't let me (and the bassets!!) GET SOME SLEEP!!!!!
