He is still very loving and seems to want nothing more than to be petted. The vet says the cat is amazingly healthy after this ordeal. We knew that there was a vet holding classes on euthanization for the local humane society so we took the cat there this morning. I am so very ashamed right now that I am considered a member of the "human" race. He is so very loving! How can he possibly still trust humans? He walks around and acts like he does not feel any pain at all. He let us work on him and never offered any resistance. He is very loving and all he wants is to be petted and scratched behind what is left of his ears and on his jaws and neck. The strange thing is, he does not appear to be in pain. ![]() I will tend to him the best I can until Monday when I can get him to a vet. I have medicated the exposed muscle with an antibiotic cream with pain reliever in it. I also removed most of the cooked skin that was on his back. Both ears were burned completely, down to the skull. His other ear is still attached but should turn loose in a couple of days. I removed one of his ears that was just hanging on by a minuscule piece of skin. I brought it home and called a friend over to help me. It immediately started purring and meowing, and came to me wanting to be petted and loved. I knelt down beside the cat and spoke to it. ![]() It was just one long gnarled slab of cooked skin, standing up free from the cat's back. ALL the skin on his back and head was cooked and had turned loose from the muscle. It is burned from it's face, down it's back all the way to the tail. Someone had poured gas or something on this cat and set it on fire. When I saw it I knew immediately what had happened. The cat was sitting on the doorstep of the house next door to them. My husband and I drove down there to see if there was anything I could do. They were afraid to touch the cat but said it looked like it had been hit by a car. Tonight I got a call from someone saying that there was an injured cat that needed help. Saturday night January 29, 2000, 11:39 pm ![]()
