OMG if it was my cat i would freak. I say you put of some gloves and try
to wipe off any blood or try to take a closer look at the wound, IF the cat allows you to lol |

Hold on to em tight !
Pour Hydrogen Peroxide on the wound to prevent infection. The cats gonna go crazy from the sting, and go hide, but at least the gash won't get infected. |

Just one straight gash? no other injuries? how big? is s/he moving
around okay? |

it runs from the top of his thigh down to his stomach as far as i can
see. it looks like muscle and his stomach is pretty growsome |
|
|
|
|

the vet. |

First of all I would protect your daughter. I know a cat picks alot of
fights with animals with rabies Bc they dont know better. I would wear some long clothes talk soft and calm him. Keep him quarintined until you can contact a vet and they can take his blood. Good Luck |

i out him in the bathroom with the door shut. i can out him in a carrier
in the morning. i wasnt even thinking of rabies boomhower, thanks. hes vaccinated. he should be okay right? |

Vaccs Help yes.... But my cat has been thru the same w a fox. He needed
a booster shot. They will make you keep him indoors for 6 weeks till they know all side effects aren't prominent. Your welcome ! |

if he turns out to be okay he is staying in for now on. i know that
there are coyotes around here. thats what i think attacked him. it had to big something of a decent size. |
|

itll probably be pretty exspensive at the vet im sure
|
|
|

Maybe. Coyotes leave Puncture wounds in an overbite fasion...4
punctures, top two outspread the lowers. Im bettin it was a racoon or another cat. Coyotes rarely lose a fight to a cat. They are relentless. MAke sure you tell him it's ok...and try and leave him a bite of food. If he doesnt touch it by morning take it serious.K? |

taking this seriously im getting up early to make some calls. i know that theres a vet that opens at 7:30 |

If the cat tried to bite you, it sounds like you won't be able to follow
active's advice very easily - are you thinking of trying to disinfect the wound anyway? anyone have any ideas for disinfecting the wound on an unco-operative cat? would it work to put H2O2 in a clean spray bottle and spray the wound from as close as possible? |
