Wound on cat

[BrainScience]

My 8mo kitten was (I think) stung by a bee/wasp at the beginning of the week on his back. He’s had a lump on his back that has been going down in size all week and at no point seemed to cause him any pain so I haven’t taken him to the vet.

I wake up this morning and he’s stripped about a square inch of fur off around it and it’s now an open wound. I kept him in today hoping he’d leave it alone but I’ve just checked him and he’s now licking it constantly and hissing at me if I go near him.

I’ve spoke to the vet who is going to see him in the morning and doesn’t seem overly concerned. Is there anything I can do between now and then to make him more comfortable?

I’ve never had a cat before and I hate seeing him hurt and unhappy.

Could you fashion some sort of baby gro outfit to keep him away from it?

I did try to get a Build a Bear outfit on him (just a plain t shirt type one) and he nearly had my arm off!

This was my cat when he had an abcess on his back. He wasn't impressed!

One very unhappy cat

hopefully I'd stops him licking it

It*

He’s such a drama queen, he keeps walking past the mirror and crying at it.. He thinks that wearing a babygro means that his back legs are made of jelly and keeps collapsing in a fit of dramatics.

Someone call ChildLine.

It’s his colour though. Poor love.

I am a bad person as I am laughing at your poor cat in that baby vest.

I’ve been given some antiseptic spray to put on it. It looks so much better today, to the point that I felt really daft taking him to the vet about it.

😂😂 bless him

Sorry but that picture has made me laugh out loud. Poor boy. It suits him! Hope he heals quickly.

His eyes in the second picture say it all 😂😂😂
