Bloody bloody Colin catface has been at it again. Only November he had an abscess on his head from being in a fight, which had to be shaved and drained and he’s been at it AGAIN! Two puncture wounds this time, again both on his head. He’s obviously the aggressor and is picking fights with some maybe new cat in the neighbourhood. I’m so annoyed! It doesn’t seem to bother him as he’s hard af, but I’m going to have to track down the vets AGAIN on Monday to get it sorted AGAIN. Gah. Dread to think what the other cat must look like!

Naughty Colin. I hope the other cat is OK and the vet bill not too extortionate. Sounds like Colin needs to be read the riot act...

Oh dear. Colin's well 'ard, isn't he!

Hope vet trip goes as well as it can do.

How old is Colin? Mine was a nightmare but he's calming down at 8.

I'm a dab hand with saltwater now though.

Be is a total bully boy and he’s not scared of anyone! He’s not even 2 yet he even got into a proper fight when he FIRST went outside when he was only 6 months old- against this massive ginger tom and he wouldn’t back down and ended up falling off an 8 foot wall (into a flower pot)! That was quite traumatic too!

How is he, OP?

Sounds like he needs anger management classes the naughty boy.

He seems ok actually, what I thought was. Bite on his head near his ear seems to be a scratch so I’m not so worried about that. Seems to be dry. He won’t let me look at his chin but that seems to be healing too. He’s a blinking liability that naughty boy!

He’s currently having a litttle nap before prob going out terrorising the neighbourhood. Looks like butter wouldn’t melt eh

Yes, I'd definitely be up for blowing raspberries into that belly...

Is he neutered? Could you cat proof your garden to keep him safe?

Yes he’s neutered. I think it’s happened on the odd night he’s snuck out at night and stayed out. Garden is very oddly arranged and couldn’t be cat proofed I don’t think.

He does enjoy a good tum stroke spartacus_ in fact he rolled onto his back like that when he heard me come in. He’s a total tart
