Bg still is good, but we had some naughtiness today...
Asher is a hoover cat and gets pesty some afternoons for food. We did give him his normal snack today but he wanted more. He knows what gets our attention so he does these things so we go out in the kitchen and get more chicken. On the list of naughty things is biting white apple computer cords and headphones (only the white ones, I guess he knows they cost more), knocking things off tables and my night stand, batting at Tom’s office chair...the list could go on....
Well today he tried something new, he opened the kitchen cabinet enough to dig out a plastic grocery bag. But he got his head thru the handle, got freaked, ran all over the studio and Tom’s office with it (it sounded horrible from upstairs), peed a little, and cut his paw. So we got him out from behind the couch and cleaned him up and calmed him down. He shredded this bag like crazy.
The cut on his pad doesn’t look too bad, it is a slice from, I think, his other back foot’s claw. I dumped hydrogen peroxide on it and then patted it dry. He is resting on the kitchen table now, we’re just gonna let him chill for a bit.
Any suggestions besides neosporin or peroxide for his pad? It only bled a couple drops, looks like a cut not a puncture. I was just concerned we get some anti-infective stuff in there right away due to him using his litter box, etc.
Never a dull moment....
