Oops.
When I got home, I let the dogs out into the kennel. Its right off the porch, surrounded by a 8 foot fence on 2 sides, and my house and porch on the other two. Apparently there was a cat in there though. I heard no animals sounds, but maybe a hiss. Just a flurry of movement, which was not normal for them when they first go out. Normally they just go out, pee, then they might wrestle around a bit. So the movement caught my attention.
I recalled them right away, and Onyx came back in pretty quick. Its dark out there, so I couldn't see anything. I went and turned on Kale's bedroom light which shines into part of the kennel, and I could see Crusher trying to stuff his head between the floor of the porch and the top of the wall underneath. Its nowhere near big enough for him to get through, but it must have been big enough for a cat. Sigh...
He came back in after a second command, and a lure of cookie. He has a couple blood streaks on his muzzle, but other than that seems to be fine. I can't tell if the blood is from him though. Doesn't look like any cuts or anything. Maybe inside his nose? I know cat scratches can be bad for infections, do you think I have anything to worry about? He's not licking at his nose more than normal, or bothering it in any way. It could have been from the cat. Stupid cat.
Have I mentioned before that I hate people that let their cats wander? I feel like I should go take a look for this cat, just in case, but I really doubt I'd find it. There are no street lights here, and without taking a dog to track it, which I'm sure they'd love to do right now, I have very little chance of finding it. Ugh...what the heck would a cat be thinking, going into a dog's kennel? There's no food in there. No shelter, without coming up into the porch, through the doggy door. It must smell like dog, to a cat anyway. Stupid Cat.
Hmmm...upon further inspection, it might be in his mouth that's cut. His bottom lip is slightly bloody. How do I clean that?
