we have been caring for stray/feral/ now ours cat for over 9 years. He stays outside at a condo. Has become very friendly to us but remains outside as we have 3 indoor cats. He is well fed. Since saturday I noticed an area around his eye has become very large obviously its an abcess since sat. He still eats and sleeps but the look of it all is not good. Will it burst or go away by itself?? this cat has been through so much and I have contacted the local cat welfare when his leg looked broken but they did nothing and it did heal. Will this burst or heal on its own. I feel it will be more traumatic for him to be trapped and taken to a vet. Should I wait or what. Its a male in Ct. the weather is warming up. I'm sure the cat has other issues but I have researched what I can and its a tough call on what to do???? Just the fright of taking him to a vet may be worse??
