Thank you for the update!! I'm so happy to hear she is better and the wounds look better than first thought.Hopefully her nipple will be o.k. and no surgury will need to be done.
Hopefully Shannon can find a home without small children.I don't know what makes some animals turn on a loved one,but as you said YOU CAN'T take the chance it won't happen again.
MANY prayers for you,your daughter.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad that she still feels comfortable with your other cat. At 4 months old, it is hard to know what set him off. Bless you for wanting to rehome him instead of something else. Prayers that your daughter becomes stronger with each day.

I am so very sorry this happened to your daughter! What a fright that must have been to find her...poor little baby! I'm glad she is feeling better already, and pray that she will have no long term scars.

Bless you for thinking about little Shannon, and helping to find him a home. I have never heard of a kitty doing such a thing...and I am especially sad it happened to your sweet girl!

My heart goes out to you and your family...while it sounds like Madeleine is ready to forget what happened, I'm sure it is etched in your mind forever. Hugs to you as you deal with this. Please keep letting us know how you and Madeleine are doing.

Just thought I'd give an update. Madeleine is doing so well. Her face is almost clear (thank goodness.) We still have a long road to hoe regarding the nipple. We are hopeful everything will turn out OK.

Some bad news, however. After the initial stress, we inquired about Shannon. He has been put to rest. The local animal shelter determined they were not willing to take the risk of rehoming him. I really think it is for the better.

I am glad to hear your little girl is doing better
/ I'm sure with time and age, the nipple issue will be resolved as needed
/ I work with animals on a daily basis and do a lot of rescues and fostering- while I don't advocate the euthanazia of animals- I think that it was a good call on the shelter's part to put little shannon to rest- I would not have chanced rehoming him eithor incase he tried it again and did more damage to someone else. I know how hard it can be, but hopefully your little girl will start to improve even more

I have been wondering how she was doing.Thanks for the update!!!! Maybe in a few more weeks/months, her nipple will heal and won't needa ny work on it.
It is sad about Shannon, but I think the shelter did the right thing by putting him to rest.Often aggresion issues can't be determined what set them off and therefor you are always on edge and wondering when it will happen again.Now, he is at peace and will not hurt anyone else.

I'm glad Madeleine is doing much better!

It's a shame such a young boy has been put to sleep, but it was for the best, IMO.

Echoing the sentiments already expressed. Glad that little Madeleine is healing well. Sorry that little Shannon had to be put down, but I can certainly understand the issues. RIP little sweetie.

I am glad she is doing better. It is sad about Shannon but having had the same issue with a cat who attacked me, all the professionals said it was the only thing to do.

Maybe its because I'm a...
It can't be easy to make that choice but the right thing was done RIP Shannon. I hope your daughter continues to improve and that she makes a full recovery.
Most of us on here seem to have been attacked by a cat/dog at some point and we still love our furry friends, I'm sure your daughter will grow up to be as much of a cat lover as you

Thanks for the update - I've been wondering how your daughter was doing. It's sad about little Shannon, but I understand that the shelter didn't want to risk an attack on somebody else.
