I'm so sad.
Our outdoor kitty is MIA, she never leaves the property, greets me every morning at the backdoor for crunchies and every evening she waits for me to get home for tuna, milk and pets.
She never came around yesterday or today and she's no where to be found on the property.
I'll be devastated if she's gone.
I broke off part of the lattice around the deck and pushed in as far as I could some crunchies, tuna and milk and left her alone. Ten or so minutes later she came out from under the deck licking her chops but when I went towards her she ran under my car and then under the deck of the house.
Animal control and vet. Fuck the betraying part. If it's injured, it needs your help.So we found her this afternoon wild eyed hiding under the deck of a secondary building on the property where she sometimes likes to sleep. She is a gray tuxedo cat and her little white chest was all bloody. She won't come out or respond to me at all, not even a meow
She's feral cat that adopted us so she's really a wild cat and now that she injured she's not letting me near her.
I don't know what to do, I don't know if we should trap her and bring her to the vet or just wait and see what happens. I really want see the wound and make sure there's no infection but I don't want to betray her by luring her into a trap.

We trapped her and brought her to the VET ER where she was given a quick exam and put into a cage until tomorrow when they will knock her out do some tests, clean and irrigate the wound and see if they can stitch her up or not.
An animal attacked her and went for her throat, you can see the puncture wounds and tears in her neck.
She was so well behaved the vet couldn't believe that she was a feral cat.
Gotmilk - Yep, there are a lot of raccoons out here. Our pet store friend said that one of his customer's dogs was attacked and dragged out into the water by a raccoon a third of his size; the dog did regain control and got away from the raccoon. We are pretty sure that is what happened to her as well.
I hope they can fix her, there's so much skin missing or dead.
We were pretty shocked how tame she was after being caged and while I hate to take her out her outside world we're considering keeping her as an indoor cat. She'll have to recover in the house so depending on how that goes we'll have a pretty good indication as to how she'll deal with it.

At work I lost my favorite feral cat a couple of weeks ago. She was run over in our parking lot. Fucking maniacs!!! I'd been feeding her for 1 1/2 years - since she was a baby.
Today a new kitty (about a month old) started eating from my hand. I think I can catch her/him if I can find a home for it.
Anyhow - I'm glad you found your kitty. I hope she recovers well.
Yay! A good EF ending for a change.Kitty made it through! Her neck is all stitched up and they left part of it open to drain so we'll bring her back Friday for the rest.
She seems to be doing really well, she's eating, drinking and gave us a kitty turd present in the car in the carrier. We have her set up in our bedroom in a huge dog cage for now until she heals and we can figure our what to do with the two kitties and if they'll get along.
So far it's a happy ending.
She's eyeballing me now - someone wants the pets.
