The Cat Chronicles: the Kitten's been Bitten

[liveonearth]

I didn't notice it until last night, the chomp on her back left paw. I think a dog got ahold of her back foot. She won't let me touch it. That paw is feverish. I am not sure how to recognize infection through all that fur. She's been laying around a lot, too, not kittenish at all. Quiet too. She isn't meowing as much as she was before I left. I guess she's trying to heal. Go kitten! Heal! (How's that for doctoring? =-])

I was going to meet a girlfriend for breakfast today, but she cancelled. I was going to meet my prof from the Jung class some time ago to talk about dream symbolism, but he hasn't replied yet to my email and I don't have a phone number for him. So I am FREE and going for a walk. It's dusty, dry, windy---the typical GRIT IN YOUR TEETH springtime weather of Flagstaff, Arizona. I'll go in the trees where there won't be so much dirt in the air.

fever+lethargy=infection.

Get kitten into the doc right away! They can go down pretty fast.

Good luck to kitty-chan!

Thanks for the reply! We haven't gone to the doc just yet, 'cause she's more perky today and she let me examine her foot...I don't think it's broken, just sore....we may go tomorrow, depending on how she feels.
