Thank you, Gina. I think she was more shaken than anything. I
still worry because I know that it is difficult to find a puncture bite - I've
checked her carefully and will continue to do so. I worry about
abscesses.
She had a very good appetite last night though and late in the
evening she even felt like playing with her mousy mouse and so I'm hoping that
everything is ok.

I'm very upset right now. I was walking out to get the
mail and my neighbor's mail (he's out of town) when I heard a
lot of yelling and turned around in time to see a dog going after Mama Kitty
- in MY yard on MY sidewalk. She was wild with fear and well she
should have been. I dropped the mail - it went everywhere - and
started running after that dog screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Mama climbed up the big oak more than 8 ft but then she fell and hit
the ground hard and that horrible dog picked her
up in his mouth. She's just a tiny thing. She got away and
ran up the arbor in the back that has to be 10ft tall and I chased that
sorry black dog away. I got her down from the arbor and she
ran to the backyard - terrified.
I just stood with her a moment and talked to her and then she ran to
the back window pawing to get in. I picked her up and carried
that sweet girl inside and she's in here now with eyes fully
dilated. Keeps looking out the window. With FeVL she does NOT
need this kind of stress.
Those sorry neighbors haven't even checked to see if Mama is
ok. I am furious but trying to be calm for her sake. I don't
think she has any broken skin or broken bones but it is probably too soon to
tell if she is really hurt because she is going on adrenalin. I've a
good mind to say something to them about it. I could hear the mother
yelling 'who let the dog out' .... but that doesn't do much for Mama Kitty.
Thanks for letting me rant - I am so upset.
