  • Here's the best pic I could get, wasn't able to get it until this morning lol.

    Thanks for the advice on the goat milk, I'll get her some for sure! And I'll be sure not to overfeed too. Yeah she's good, I was just ribbing her a little about wetting the bed lol, good thing she can't read! After I got it washed I put her in it and started petting her and she made biscuits in it, so I think she knows now lol. She's been box trained since she broke in though, cause y'know they naturally want to bury it and stuff, I think she just thought the bed was another box lol.

  • Well you're more knowledgeable than I, so thank you! I'll try to take a better pic here in about an hour or so and I'll double reply to this so you can get the notification.

    I'm not sure either, right now bandages stand no chance but I'm hoping the cone helps! Her little head may just fit right through the cone though, tbh. She's so tiny and skinny and needs all the food, I'm gonna feed her like an Italian grandmother for a bit. I'll look into getting some of the other stuff you recommended too and use that instead if I can! Will definitely apply as often as possible per directions and work schedule! Glad to hear the licking may have helped though! I had one (RIP, 2016, one of my all time favorite kitties) that hurt her paw barely, but made it worse by licking a hotspot into it, so I was worried about that! The "foster" is more of a maintenance guy that took her home for about a week tbh, they wanted to keep her in the warehouse to hunt mice after socializing her, but that was a terrible idea and he is bad at raising cats, so they finally gave up and let me take it (like I'd been suggesting) at that point. He wont be fostering in the future, but he's gonna get a dog and I don't think I can stop him, poor doggo, I hope he's better with them.

    Thank you for the kind words of encouragement! She seems like she'll get there, I was watching her back so she'd be comfortable eating before posting this and she was taking breaks from the food to come back for pets, and even letting me pet her while she ate, but then ran and hid after a bit lol. Also she damn peed in her bed! Washing that blanket now lol, I don't think she knows "bed" yet. I'm just glad to hear maybe the wound isn't as bad as I feared. I'm still kinda worried about rabies, though, but she doesn't seem aggressive, even when she hisses you can tell her heart isn't in it (I think she wants friends but is slow to trust, hey, me too kitty! Lol), and it's been at least 10 days since we caught her, and clearly more than 10 since the bite (with the scars and regrown hair and all). I'm also worried for my not-new cat on that front with transmission, but I'm washing my hands and changing pants (because of the blood on my pants from her sitting on my lap with that foot) between cats.

  • Here ya go! Ignore the Adidas lol. And btw I wasn't even holding her down for this pic, just petting her little head, and she stayed in my lap where I put her!

    So you can kinda see where the hair is shorter and it almost looks shaved, but nobody shaved her (no way, if it wasn't me it wasn't done, the "foster" barely counted as such. Literally told me that he "almost hurt her" because she "attacked him," turns out he was fucking with her food, and she didn't even scratch him but raised a paw like she might. I took her ass the next day, fuck that, she's so sweet and she deserves so much better), so she must have been licking it and that part healed. There's scars there, so it was definitely part of this. Looks like it was a lot worse than it is now, but the licking is of course an issue since it's keeping it open. I'm also a little worried about just general infection, but it looks less pink irl. Still though, kinda gnarly, so it's always a worry. She's running fast though and walking normal (but rarely, she's a zoomer lol she isn't sure about me yet), so I don't think it's broken. It's a little hard to see because grapheneOS camera still doesn't work as well as google camera, but it's definitely a clear puncture.

    Thanks for the advice on the drugs! I have "Veterycin™ wound care spray" on the way already, that wouldn't happen to work, would it? (And again I'd like to stress that no matter what she WILL be going to the vet even if this heals before I can get an appointment. I meant to call them again today but didn't get off in time, will tomorrow.)

  • Yeah fuck that.

    Actually that is illegal (at least in my area), they're required to give at least 24hr notice for maintenance or the landlord themselves coming by, etc. Exception is cops, they can always let in cops (and EMS and Fire I think).

  • Oh my god that's hilarious, I hope that really worked!

    As to KOTH:

    "Unlock my door or I'll kick your digital ass!"

    crying "My door won't let me in, Hank! Everyone leaves me, Lenoire left and now even my house left me!"

    Dale however never got one, his house is still secured by Daletech. Shishishaaaaa!
