A few months ago I noticed a cat kept coming into my yard, it seemed to enjoy walking alongside the fence and getting my dogs all riled up . . as I kept noticing it coming back I started to leave water out for it and at times food (ya I know, now it'll never get a job)
a couple of months ago I noticed this really deep looking wound . . today I was coming home from a trip to get some coffee and from out of the shadows I had heard that familiar meow. This time I noticed another instance of the same type of wound only more aggravated. I brought the cat inside to apply aloe vera (no . . I didn't check a single resource to see if this was okay or effective . . hopefully common sense prevails)
Attached are two pictures, one being a close-up and another picture to show the severity of this . . I did notice this cat along with another cat I had never seen before playing in my drive-way earlier today . . may of been mating or fighting, I'm not going to assume it was violence though because they both ran the same way when I walked outside and regrouped at a safe distance (perhaps this cat is trying to impress the other cat by showing it's not down with the humans)
Please share insight, perspective and advice. The shelter here is a kill shelter and I don't like this cats chances there so that's out of the question
