To think my cat might have rabies.

[Thepersonineedisnannymcphee]

He's chewed all the flesh from the tip of his tail, he was panicking because it was wet. I know it sounds mental but there is a possibility he was bitten by a bat and in England one species can carry a rabies virus.

Goodness, I sound crazy.

I might be wrong, but I was around all day yesterday and it's the only thing I can think of. Honestly wouldn't wish it on anyone. Really unpleasant experience.

Poor Mouse :( hope he is better soon!

When we first got out lurches he had a very long, very waggy tail which he wagged so hard it hit a hard surface and split his tail.Walls would look as though murder had been done with blood splattered everywhere as his tail wagged.
After many weeks of vets visits for dressings etc we decided-with a heavy heart- to have his tail docked. He lost around 2/3.
The end healed very quickly and he still has it long enough to chase that nowadays you wouldn't even know.
It's still very waggy.

I hope mouse recovers quickly.

I'm sure he'll be fine.

He's just unlucky! I had to take him to the vets a while back for getting bitten by the rabbit.

The other animals need to learn to play nice!!!

Hope he recovers well. SIL has a cat with half a tail. Manages quite normally.

Do you consider the cat 'part of the family' ?

What do you mean by this Neutrogena?

Poor Mouse, glad he's getting sorted & will be feeling much better after his op is over.

Get well soon little Mouse. Hope you are feeling better too OP, he's lucky to have you.💐

What a sight to greet you, poor you and your dear cat.
Hope he's home and all better again soon.

Sending healing thoughts to Mouse. Hope he is feeling better soon.

FWR ----> that way Bossy

Poor cat, he'll probably get a lovely collar to wear to stop him having another go at his tail. Hope he gets better soon. Will he have pills to take? You'll have fun getting him to take them.

for you, you deserve them. for later.

God you poor things, what a nightmare to come down to in a morning, looks like a crime scene!

Hope Mouse recovers quickly.

How is Mouse now? Is he home?

Oh poor mouse! My (now sadly departed) cat did similar once and ended up with no tail at all and it didn't bother him in the slightest - still hunting and running round like a loon! Hope he's home and enjoying his cone of shame

He's home. Collar in place, and slightly less tail!

Also no rabies to report.

Oh look at him with his collar! He's so cute.
Get well soon Mouse!

Oh Bless him!! 😊 The cone of shame...

Oh he is sweet as. Get well soon Mouse.

Get well soon, Mouse (you silly banana).

Thank you Blue!

You can't really tell in the picture but he's a rather handsome half bengal. Very sleek and regal looking.

He's hiding the stump as it spoils his majestic looks!

Aw! What a handsome boy!

Poor Mouse, it must have a horrible experience for him, and you!

Glad he's on the mend.

Oh my, he is a handsome chap! Get well soon Mouse.

Oh get well soon handsome boy!
