Subdued after fight.

Post by Grace56 »

Dave had one hell of a scrap this morning with another cat. This cat looked quite a bit smaller than Dave, and Dave was on top of this cat.
Even my feather duster (which Dave is scared of) failed to stop it. It was quite alarming. :o

Now Dave is in doors but seems very subdued and miserable. I've checked him over as best I can but he seems unscathed at least as far as I can tell.

So, why is he so subdued like this after fighting? Can anyone tell me.

Thanks,

Grace :)

Poor old Dave, they never learn do they? My Gracie has done this a time or two. She is a typical school-yard bully, picking on Purdy or Willow. But if the tables are turned she sulks. A couple of times she has taken a whack that was not visible for a while and went on to become an abcess.

If he isn't any brighter later in the day, get him to the vets for a good look.

I will do that, Bobbys Girl. I am away from home until later this afternoon. Hopefully, he will have recovered a bit by then. At least I hope so. I do worry about him at times. :?

Thank you and fusses to your gang. :)

To echo Sue, a couple of mine have sulked after a scrap for a day or so - once it turned out to be an abcess brewing, and one was just a sulk! I hope Dave bounces back. :)

Thanks, Crewella. When I got in at six, Dave ran down the stairs to greet me, ate a dish of his favourite Sheba and is now outside rolling in the dust. :D

Thanks for your support and fusses to your little 'uns. :)
