I'm still shaking...

Aww bless his little heart I hope he feels better soon.

Will he feel the cold or do ferels get used to it?

And does he lie on a blanket on the porch?

I just caught this thread MA and I am sending lots and lots of vibes over your way from across the ocean

may he continue to be the brave fighter that he seems to be and beat this obstacle as well

I'm thinking of that poor little guy, MA. He sounds like a tough one, I'm praying he gets through this. And a big hug for you as well.

When I took in Straycat (RB), he was in similarly bad shape, and incredibly wild. He healed, but not without giving us plenty of bites and scratches, and was eventually persuaded to move into our laundry room (equipped with a cat flap). I really hope things go well for your boy.

Its alway tough when there is a stray or feral that you want to help out like your inside kitties. I hope he recovers fully!!

We're all saying little prayers and rooting for him. You are such a good meowmy - if anyone can see him through it will be you MA.

How is the little guy today MA? And how are YOU doing?

i'll be praying for him & you!

I was wondering the same?. Is he any better?

I will spare you the details but another abscess opened up on him and I took care of it for him. This one was on top of his head. He was so quiet as I worked on him. I took his temp and got bit for that action, but he grabbed the sleeve of my shirt and not my skin (thank goodness)

He is resting out on a large dog bed we have on the back porch. His one eye is less swollen today and he takes the medicine easily.

Encouraging news (I think). Continuing prayers and strength vibes for the Miller cats and humans.

Oh bless him!

It's good that he's taking the medicine though and that the swelling on his eye has gone down a bit!.

I hope warmer weather is on it's way for the poor things

Oh...MA--I think you are wonderful for spending all that time and effort on a poor little kitty such as this guy! You will have a special place in heaven one day, for all the caring and kindness you give to others, not the least of which are little feral kitties...
I am so glad that he is at least TAKING that medicine, and I'd KEEP wearing long sleeve shirts when it is time to medicate him!

Sending lots of healing vibes to your poor sick feral. Sending prayers to you and Mike too.

Is he the one with the German Shepard?

How smart of him to make his way back to you, poor guy! Do you know what animal it was he tangled with - another cat, or something else?

You said he is on a big dog bed on the back porch - I don't know if it is within your means or even if it is desired, but I noticed today at Petsmart they have heated pads to help keep outside animals warm. They are around $50-60 and have a washable cover. Since he is healing, he may appreciate the extra warmth - but then again, he may not:-).

Anyway, best wishes to your brave smart feral for a full recovery - and it says a lot about you that he trusts you so much.

All who help these kitties are kings and angels!

He trusts you...how lucky he is to have you to care for him. Hoping this was the last abcess, and that healing continues.

Good to hear he is taking his meds well.
