This is Jake. He has been an infrequent visitor to our home for the last several years. He ate our outside cat's food, then promptly left,not to return until several months later. This time around he is staying for forever. He arrived late in September last year. He looked really bad. He had an injured front paw. His fur was greasy looking. Poor guy. I let him come in for a few minutes and to my surprise he curled up on my lap and fell asleep. I did not think he was a loving cat, he seemed really rough.We left for a week the last week of September and when we returned he had taken up residence in one of our outdoor cat houses. Only he was not doing any better. His paw was now bleeding and oozing stuff. We took him to the vet. He was tested for feline AIDS and leukemia. We thought for sure he would be positive. Much to our surprise he tested negative. Yay!!!!! We were given antibiotics and told to clean his wound with peroxide every day. I did just that and he got better. Then he took a really bad turn. Let's just say it was REALLY bad.....
To be continued....
