I have several cats that live on the porch. This morning I noticed some drops of blood around the porch. I figured that one of the cats caught a mouse and got bit, or broke a toenail, or something stupid like that. But then I found out that one of the cats has what appears to be part of his rectum swelled up and sticking through his anus. It's kind of bloody, but it's not actively bleeding anymore. The thing is that he doesn't seem to care. He licks it once in a while, and pretty much goes about his business as usual. He's an old cat, and a stray to boot, so I don't think I'm going to take him to the vet, I'll just let what happens happen. Before I get flamed too bad, the deal is that I take in any strays who happen to wonder in. People all around know that if they have a cat that they can't keep, they can bring it to us. They all get vaccinated and most of them get neutered, and I feed them really well. We give them any first aid we can. Over the years we've housed hundreds of them. If I took every one to the vet when they get sick I wouldn't be able to afford to feed them or me anymore. Think of me as a cat homeless shelter. I can't afford to be a free clinic too.
Think there's a chance he'll heal up?
By the way, don't ask for pics, I'm not taking pictures of my cat's ass.
