Nabisco Bobcat’s Rescue Video

July 31, 2018

Poor Nabisco got into a scrabble with Mrs Claws. He suffered a deep bite wound to the neck and several scratches to his chest. He was rushed to Humane Society of TB where Dr. Boorstein attended to his wounds and neutered him. He is awake now and recovering in the cat hospital.

Update later in the day:

Ms Claws apparently got him by the throat and rabbit kicked him in the chest, so he was shaved, neutered, stitched and will be in the Recovery Hospital for 10-14 days. We probably won’t reintroduce them as his seizures might be making him look like prey to her strange little mind.
