Not mine, found it in a telegram group chat that posts interesting stuff.

I see so many posts asking when to seek medical help after a cat bite. Just posting a reminder how quickly a bite can escalate! First picture is immediately following the bite, the next picture is at the ER within 2 hours. Blood work was already concerning with an inflammatory response and signs of cellulitis from the infection. I was admitted into the hospital for IV antibiotics and still the infection worsened. I had surgery at about 36 hours following the bite after the infection started traveling up my arm in the bloodstream. This whole event landed me 3 nights in the hospital. All from our family cat, up to date on all vaccines. But cats carry a bacteria that is no joke. Last picture is post surgery with a suture, the surgeon had to make 3 incisions, 2 where the bite punctures were and a 3rd to flush the wound.

My baby is 16 and sat on my lap for the FIRST TIME EVER yesterday. I’m so joyous I thought I’d share this with the world.
We found him in our backyard when he was one and he’s never been an affectionate cat.

Meet Toby, the 10 month old kitten who just tied a Guinness World Record with 28 toes, matching a record that’s stood since 2002. Now living in Michigan with his family of fellow polydactyl cats, Toby’s extra toes are just part of his charm & what makes him so unique.

An ER vet friend had a particularly dangerous patient this weekend. Tbh I didn’t even know these murder cat hockey masks were a thing.
