with all the hoohah about Bada, it’s easy to forget that we have seven other cats in the house. And as in any multi-cat household where the inhabitants go in and out as they will, there are always scrapes …
Iggy came home with yet another scratch on his nose the other day; it looked painful, but healed up fine, and the scar will join the others on his battle-scarred face.
and Lilith had a very nasty hole under her front leg; her Greatest Fan brought her home to show us (I really must write about this young girl one day), and said she thought a dog had got her.
but actually, looking at the wound, and knowing Lily’s entirely deserved reputation as the Great white Cream Hunter, we think that she finally took on a rat that got the better of her. We’ve watched her carefully for a week to make sure it wasn’t abscessing, and was healing cleanly, and she’s just about mended now.
the interesting thing is that – like so many other incidents with cats – it seems to have made her slightly less stand-offish; but I’m probably imagining that …
