Muffin's ear

This is Muffin's right ear, six days after The Fight. I suspect that she fought a raccoon and not another cat: the injury was infected immediately. This is the second time she has had Stinky Ear as a result of a night-time fight; first time was a couple of years ago in Sacramento. Both times resulted in a rapid trip to the vet, and antibiotics. Big difference--and improvement--this time was the antibiotics injection, which cost more but saved me the skin that would have been lost forcing pills or liquids down her throat. And cleaning the carpet, once she found somewhere to regurgitate them.

I should fit her with an earring...

Why does my cat think she is a dog? She was growling out the doors within half an hour of returning from the vets at "something" that had ventured onto the deck.
