Thread: Where did the blood come from... ?

I very often have found spots of fresh blood out in the cats pen & gone straight into panic mode to then never find out who or where they come from,I think more often than not it is a pulled claw but by the time you get round to looking for it they have cleaned it up so well you just can't see it & unless it is really sore still however much prodding & poking about you do you can never get a reaction,very stoical are our cats,in fact when I took Shimba for his booster I just said to the boss that I had noticed him limping a bit when I went to put him in his basket so the boss got hold of his foot & started inspecting digits & when he got to the last one he had pulled a nail right off & the bare quick was exposed,it was already infected so had been done a little while but that slight limp was the very first sign,he was a very good boy standing with a hind foot in a margarine tub for saline bathing though but it did have to be on the kitchen window sill so he could watch the birds at the same time,so Peter be prepared....!
