Cat got attacked by a dog today and is missing.

[Shufflebumnessie]

No real point to this thread other than I feel sad and worried.
A neighbours dog escaped today and attached our lovely cat on another neighbours driveway. I heard the commotion and my neighbour screaming but thought it was 2 dogs fighting. Apparently it dragged her by her backlegs. She managed to get away but now we can't find her
I'm hoping she'll make her way back home very soon but I have no idea how badly she's injured.
I'll be out looking for her again in the morning, phoning the vets in case someone finds her etc.
Please keep your fingers crossed that we find her or she comes home soon so we can get her treated.

Thankfully she made her way home about an hour ago. I was so shocked when she appeared that I burst in to tears!
She's eaten loads and now having cuddles.
Amazingly she doesn't appear to have any external injuries but seems in a little discomfort with her back legs. Off to the vet tomorrow for a check up.
So, so happy have her home. I was really expecting the worst.

Woohoo glad she is back home with you, can’t imagine how sick you must have been feeling. My worst nightmare

Thank goodness she's home op. Hopefully no real damage done

Poor cat. I hope the vets goes well.

I'm so glad your cats ok OP.

Glad she's ok, squeeze her tight and never let her go again 😻❤️😻 let us know how she gets on 🤞🏻

Ah lovely

Excellent news OP , hopefully a night indoors in a comfy bed and she will feel a bit better .

So happy she’s home. I hope the visit goes well tomorrow.

That's made my day. Glad she has come home and is safe

Another puss back home - yay! Hope you all sleep well tonight

Thank god. Please update us tomorrow. Sending you lots of healing hugs.

Thank you all so much for your kind words, very much appreciated.

Oh god I’m so relieved for you! So happy she’s seemingly ok

I'm so glad she's home safely, welcome back little one.

Aw a happy ending

Excellent news, give her an extra wee hug from me . Hope she gets on OK a the vet tomorrow.

Sounds like she was too scared to come out before now. Poor little thing. Plenty of warmth and available water and vet tomorrow seems a good plan.

I’m glad she’s home safely.

Oh thank goodness

How is your cat today? Hope the trip to the vets went well Shufflebumnessie.

@nettie434 so sorry I haven't replied, only just seen your message.
The vet said no major injuries but probably severe bruising. He prescribed aanti-inflammatory medication.
She's also ripped out several claws and damaged her toes which are obviously causing her quite a lot of pain.
She stayed in the garden for at least days after it happened, which is incredibly unusual for her. She's started venturing out a bit more now (I'm not overly happy about that!).
Thanks for asking!

You can't keep a good puss down. Glad she's venturing out again...

im so glad shes ok x

So glad that it is good news Shufflebumnessie. She is clearly a very determined and brave girl! I suppose it's good news in terms of her health that she's venturing further, even though it's more stressful for you.
