Got a call a couple of nights ago from the house up at the corner, one of Indy’s adoptive home (he considers the whole street his extended family), saying that he’d shown up at their doorstep with some sort of a wound.<\/p>\n
We went up and recovered him, and found he had some bad scratches or bites around his jaw and throat from some sort of a tussle. (My impression from Margie is that it sounds like from another cat.) We smeared some bacitracin on it, closed the blast doors<\/s> kitty flap, and headed to bed.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, Indy seemed okay, and went out. In the evening we saw him while going on a bicycle walk with Katherine. He had some more serious swelling around the injuries, but no fever. We brought him back home and sealed up things tight again to keep him for overnight observation.<\/p>\n
Today he appears to be in the same state — swollen, but no fever — so we’re going to continue monitoring and keeping him inside (in case we need to take him vet-wards).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
