Observed air bubbles coming out of small spot of light brown semi-fluid spot on side of female cat, Cleo. We thought it was a spot of diarea, but, it was on her side, (not her anus). We know her. She was our neighbors cat who moved a couple of months ago.  She came to our yard a few weeks ago, we tried to feed her, but, she was acting quite "ferrel", wouldn't stay in our house or let anyone pet her or anything. We do know little bit about her though. She is a naturally tiny, small female cat, just never grew big. Never been fixed. They, her previous owners were very ignorant & irresposible. They always just kept her shut up in a room with a mattress. They gave her fresh food and water but that's about all for about 4 years inspite of our ergings for them to get her fixed, etc...  so, anyway, we know she's about 5 years old and has had at least 1 litter of 4 babies and acts ferral because of her strange upbringing, (stuck in that bedroom, never seeing any other people).

She's extremely loving & friendly to us now though.      

About a week ago our dog was barking at air vent and we heard bumps and it was her, Cleo! in our bathroom air conditioning vent. We removed the cover and got her out. She was emaciated. Worst I've ever seen, but, she started eating dry & wet food, "Fancy-feast", etc...and water immediately and had excellent appitite, and still does. my wife is wildlife rehabber and luckily has giant cage that we put her in in bedroom, because we already have many OTHER Cats, about 5 of which, live in our house, with dog also.   So had to keep Cleo seperated from them, at least while she's convalescing.

Anyway, we don't kn ow what this light brown spot is, (about 1-2 inches in diameter), looked like diarea, but, now not sure.  We cleaned it gently, applied neosporin and saw 3-4 fizzy air bubbles emerge from it.       We welcome and appreciate your comments please,  Jeff and Jackie in NC

Given where you found her and the state she was in, I'd be calling the vet ASAP. Apart form anything else, you need to be sure she doesn't have anything she could pass on to your animals.

It's wonderful that you've taken her in. She's lucky to have found you.

Did you get her in to the Vet?  This is really curious.  Is it sort of on her hip?  You said "near her anus", but "on her side", so I can't quite figure out just where it is, and definitely can't figure out WHAT it is.  Poor girl, sounds like you rescued her just in the nick of time
