Au was so loud and so fast and so vicious that the grey cat rushed out of the house as fast as his paws could carry him.
He was in such a rush that he ran straight over the top of Target who was running to Au's rescue.
In his haste, the gray cat must have scratched Target's cheek.
This morning Target was fine but as 11AM his cheek felt hot. By 2PM I had him in the vet. His surgeon says he's never seen such a young abscess, and that it's nothing to worry about.
Target was supremely brave while his cheek was shaved and his abscess lanced and so was I.
We're now back at home. Target is asleep in bed and I am about to have the largest drink in the entire universe. I'm brave at the vet's because my fur friend needs me to be a cool calm rock in his time of need, but between you and me, the whole thing makes me sick with fear and nerves.
Purr for Target please, and if you've some spare, purr for me too!

Purrs 'n' prayers for Target ... Z had a nasty wound recently (12/21). On two antibiotics, yet still healing.
Hope "T" will heal fully and quickly.
((Hugs))
How horrible that the cat broke into the house. Good for Au for putting up such a fight, and how unjust that Target got hurt while the cat was leaving. We understand your concern, but feel it is very good that Target was gotten to the vet so fast for treatment. We will make lot of purrs for Target and for you.
We are sending you and Target lots of comforting vibes!!!

Tsrget, you were so brave to try to help Au, but we are so sorry you have that war wound. We hope it heals well. With how fast it developed, that bad cat must be a dirty one.
Mom says she just about passed out once at the vet's when one of her other dogs had a bad leg wound. she had to lie down to revive herself:)

Yikes! Our loudest purrs to Target, for a smooth and speedy healing!
Our mom says she'd need about three shots of rye after something like that too!
How on earth did that cat get into the house? I hope Target will heal quickly.
Sending tons of purrs to Target. Both of you are very brave for dealing with a kitty intruder! Wow, we've never had a kitty break into the house. If we lived closer, Grete would offer to patrol for you.
Paws khrossed from here -

Hugz&Khysses,
Khyra
Have as many purrs and woofs as you need mate! I bet that stray cat is related to my KC - she is evil. Your Mum was pretty impressive getting you to the vets pronto. Deccy x
Poor Target - a fly by whapping!! I hope the extra large drink helped....and cheers to Au for being such a great guardian of the house!! Glad you caught this early before it got really nasty.....
Hope you both feel better real soon. Did Au sustain any injuries - what a warrior! Purrs for all.

Poor Target, that looks nasty indeed. We're sending many purrs for him to heal quickly. It's a good thing you had a vet look at his wound so soon, that way worse could be prevented. And we bow in honour of Au the brave defender.
Siena & Chilli
poor Target. he must be emotionally terrified.
purrs and kisses for Au and Target.
Oh, my goodness, what a horrible experience for all of you. So Au went to the rescue and scared the intruder so bad he didn't see Target. Au must be ferocious when riled.
So glad you were vigilant and Target got prompt care. Hope his wound heals quickly since the infection is being treated. And you? We hope after the stiff drink you had a long cuddle nap with Target.

Poor baby ! What an excitement ! Good that you went to the vet immediately, it will heal soon !
So sorry to hear of the incident, but pretty amazed you caught it so early!! You may have been a nervous wreck, but you were on the ball!
Purrs to Target, and hopefully that intruder knows better then to try that again.
OMG your humor is outstanding - I have never been here before but will def return -- Ann sent me. Im sending prayers for all - and how funny is it that WE are more of a wreck at the vet than the cats are, in general? The vet told me that once as I held back an asthma attack when he told me my older cat had a blockage...
Glad everyone is okay!

We are glad you caught it early and that you were so very brave and strong for Target. Au, cheers for beating the snot out of the intruder! Bet he'll think twice about coming back.
Did the vet say anything about FIV or any of the other diseases that often affect strays?
Snuggles and purrs for all,

We heard about this from Miss Ann and are sending Target many healing purrs! And we're sending you lots and lots of purrs too - our mom says you probably need them more than Target does.
all the best from Dobby (special orange tabby purrs!), Franklin, Tasha, and mom Katie
P.S. We haven't been blogging because our mom is just plain LAZY - but we do try and keep up with our friends as much as possible
Sweet Target, I hope your cheek is well soon and Mom can relax. We found you on Hannah and Lucy. We'll be purring for you, sweet Target.
xoxo Kassey
Poor Target! But how brave he is! I will purr very hard for him - and my Human will add her prayers. Oh, and She also says that she read your previous post about the terrorist bombers and she agrees with you. There's nothing to talk about with terrorists!
Possum the MagnifiCat
Star says, "Purrs from all of us in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde! I've had a couple of those myself. Oddly enough they were from an orange tabby with a fluffy tail. I blame fully tails myself. Just make sure that you purr a lot for your Feeders and try not to scratch or bite them if they have to drain the abscess again. Oh, and nag them for bunches and bunches of treats!!"
How scary! You have our purrs and purrayers for speedy recovery and some peace.
Take care!
DMM
Au and Target what brave little guys you were, and dear Target we will keep you in our purrs for a speedy and full recovery.

I hope that wound heals fast.
Purrs to Target. And we guess Target was actually a target that time...
For the Mom. TBT suggests a tall glass several ice cubes, a shot of gin, a shot of pomegranate liquor, 2 shots of pomegranate juice and fill the glass with ginger ale. Sip through a straw.
And WE say Nip for the kitties!
We are sending lots of purrs and prayers your way to both of you. That was quite an ordeal for you and Target. Au was a brave kitty taking on the intruder.
