Black cat, bummer
The rescuer lady is being pushy and Iām seriously wavering because Iāve got attached to him but I donāt think I can keep this cat. I was getting pics of where I think the ringworm still is and he enjoyed the fuss so much he did a big stretch up onto me and accidentally punctured my leg with his claw. Luckily I can get antibiotics tomorrow morning but have a compromised immune system and donāt want to get cat scratch syndrome. So Iāve told her about it and said I donāt think I can keep him. Itās just too much in the circumstances. So Iāve lost my Melbcat and will have to give this one up too š

melba, heās a normal cat
be calm, calm is good for your immune system
just wash the wound and put dettol and savlon on, it will be ok

Iāve washed and dressed it but have an history of infections getting out of control. And was feeling like I couldnāt take his care on even before this.

but you are doing great, better at looking after cats than anyone I know,
and everyone gets infections, we just wash and disinfect and IF it gets worse then we get more treatment
you are doing great, you cope very well, just worry more than most

No, I feel like right now I just canāt take all of it on. I wish things were different but the timing was so bad.
