Chronicles of Scrappy

Well, my silly cat is at it again. A couple of days ago, I came home and called out the back door for our partially tame, partially feral cat Scrappy. I’ve chronicled his misadventures before. When he didn’t show, I tried the garage, and found him in there. He slowly came in and seemed to be unhappy, so I bent down to pick him up, and found that his fur was covered in saliva (yuck) and he had obviously been in a scuffle again. To make an already long story less long, I took him to the vet, and he got shaved in four places (top of his head, under his chin, and both front legs). Two dozen bites, only one which looked troublesome, but he’s on antibiotics AGAIN. Silly cat.

The stripes on his head are acually scratches, you can see his left front paw has been shaved, he’s got thirteen bites on that leg. His other paw is shaved too.

I’m gonna have to work harder at converting him into an indoor kitty. Anybody have any hints? Success stories they’d like to share?
