cat scratches
"LFortier" wrote in message ... Scars. My 9 yo dd has a thin scar on the side of her nose from a cat scratch when she was a baby or toddler. I second the idea of the cat having lots of safe places to hide, and really work on the concept of gentle. With time and repetition, Ollie will catch on. It's not just babies that get scratched from cats either. My 15 year old son pushed our cat just that little bit too far couple of weeks ago. He wasn't being cruel, just messing about, but the cat didn't appreciate it! I heard a terrible hiss from the cat then a loud wail of pain from said teenage son. The cat had left a bloody scratch the complete length of one of his thighs. I had little sympathy for him as he winced as I dabbed Dettol into it! |

cat scratches
"GI Trekker" wrote in message ... Ollie's trying to say "cat," we think -- he makes this coughing sound only at the cat I'm sorry, I know this is a rather serious issue, but I can't resist... Are you sure this coughing sound isn't a hairball? this actually got an OUT LOUD laugh from me. I usually just grin big at funny things on here Edith nak |

cat scratches
"LFortier" wrote in message ... Sara wrote: My nine-month-old baby loves our cat. Loves to chase him, to pet him, to try to eat him. The cat is surprisingly tolerant, but... well... there have been incidents. We keep the cat's claws trimmed and try to stop the violence, but even so Ollie's getting quite a few scratches. Is there anything to worry about with these scratches? I've read about "cat scratch fever," but anything else? (He's an indoor, healthy cat.) Scars.

Lesley my 18 yo still has a scar on her arm from when she was around 10 or so. she was introducing our cat to her new puppy, but for some (unknown by me) reason, she put the _cat_ on a leash first... I thought we might have to go to the ER, but after cleaning her up, it wasn't as bad as I first imagined. scared the daylights out of me though... -- Edith oht nak |
