Evacuation with cats

[jerrymrc]

I was asked Version 4.0

Version 3.0

2.0 looks identical to 3 and I would have to find and scan a pic of 1.0 That said people that come to the house over the years did not realize when 3.0 passed away after 16 years and we replaced him 6 months later with 4.0.

I would love to get another but they are just about impossible to find anymore.

I evac'd for the BF fire with 2 cats. We keep a collar with a bell on each. So we had the kids find them and tossed them in the carrier. Carrier went in the camper along with the dogs. 3 minutes tops to get them loaded. Horses and goats took more time.

An audible trigger every time you feed them like shaking their food. Eventually, they come whenever they hear it.

Speaking of cats, guess who apparently got bitten in the face the last time he was outside?




Doesn't seem to be infected yet. You can see the other tooth mark lower in his fur in the second picture. This hole is perfectly round, and at least a centimeter deep. I thought it might have been from a pellet rifle for a minute. He doesn't seem to be too bothered about it, as my wife noticed it on accident. Our cat is the most loving cat ever, but he sure gets his ass kicked when he goes outside. This is the third time he's lost a fight to another animal. Last time was a bite to the back foot that swelled up and got infected. In the bottom picture you can see a chunk out of his right ear. That was from a squirrel like 7 years ago.
So what do you think? Another cat, raccoon, or fox? We've got all three to choose from.

Peroxide for cleaning & maintaining the area. Drawing salve / boilease applied to wound 2 - 3 x day. The salve assist with bacteria elimination peroxide is mild decontaminate to keep surface and subcutaneously clean.

Thank you. We did the peroxide and tried to get some neosporin in there. Last time we just took him to the vet once we saw the infection. If we can prevent The infection and keep him out of the vet altogether, we'll be pretty happy.
Now, where do I get the salve/boilese, and how should we apply the peroxide? I just swabbed the puncture with a peroxide soaked cotton ball.

Swab peroxide as you have been doing. If you don't have any on hand get some s/steel surgical blades. Great item to have. You can lance a boil or other growth on a pet to allow drainage. We needed to do it to one pup years ago. Then follow correct sanitary procedures for wound clean & maintaining. A growth / tumor at the vet gets lanced and drained. No reason why you cannot do it at home, to save a few $ $ $ $
Hopefully you wil not need on any family members, still nice to have. You might be surprised, once on hand how many times you access them.

Fox and your cat would be dead. Raccoon would have taken a chunk. Cat was teaching yours a lesson
