G'day anybody
I (Paul) work in a golf pro shop and we have an 8yr old de-sexed male cat of the ordinary garden variety with the nicest personality I have ever seen in a cat.
He was recently bitten by a Tiger snake, an extremely venomous variety, and is recovering at the moment. The legacy of the bite is currently little or no feeling in the ends of the rear paws resulting in his shuffling/walking with the ends of the paws tucked under. The result is that he has taken fur and skin off and damaged claws in his attempts to get around.
In an attempt to restrict further damage we have taken to keeping him in a change room with adequate resources other than contact and site of humans. While I was on days off he apparently chewed out two claws and he cries a lot, probably because he misses contact with people.
Could you let me know if the claw chewing and crying is a behavioural problem and any other information please.
Thanking you in anticipation
Regards
Liz and Paul Smith
