My Cat foxy Is an out door and in door cat. She comes around for about 3 days then leaves for about 3 days. So me and my sister thinks she has anyother owner. we dont think that anymore. Foxy was gone for 1 week and she came back really skinny and her back left foot is 3x times or maybe 4x times bigger then her other foot. The skin under her fur is red and its swollen. Puss is coming out of her toes. And she licks her foot,her pads are fine.Once she came home I told my dad and we went to the store and bought the best food there was. She ate one can and some dry food.I left water, food and milk by her bed. She came on saturday night and the vet was closed and its closed on sunday so we have to wait until Monday, im scared for her. She is my cat and im super close to her. Please tell me what to do!

Take her to the emergency vet NOW. If you don't have an emergency vet in your area, call your regular vet and leave a message. Most vets will have an answering service or something to tell you what to do in an emergency. If your vet doesn't answer, keep calling the vets in your area until you find one that will help. Sounds like she needs help sooner rather than later.

No no no.... I hope by this time you already got this kitty to the ER. Call your vet - they should have a recording with the Emergency clinic information - got there NOW. Drive to the next town if you need to. Google for an emergency vet hospital by your zipcode, do whatever you need to do, but food and water is not going to do it...
And please, please talk to your parents to see if they can let you have her be an inside cat only... She will be much much healthier and happier, with plenty of safety, food and love

to you,
for her

PS: Cats should not be fed milk, as they are usually lactose intolerant

Maddie I hope you have taken your cat to the vet by now. Please report back to us.
I don't want to read about your kitty in the rainbow bridge, please, though it is expensive to go to an emergency vet, get that cat to a vet, NOW, if you have not already.
