The offender is the same un-neutered male cat who roams the neighborhood and attacked him before. Fooler (who is neutered) was sitting in the back yard minding his own business when he was attacked. It was 10:30 a.m. (we do not allow our cat out at night) when this reporter heard the screams and howls. Fooler was a bloody mess. The veterinarian shaved the left side of his head to allow three wounds to drain. Fooler also had a gash in his eyeball over of an inch long, and his inner eyelid was tom. For the next couple of weeks, this reporter had the fun job of trying to get antibiotic tablets down the cat’s throat, putting medication in his eye and treating his wounds with epsom salts. Folks, if you aren’t going to raise show cats or purebreds to sell the kittens, please get your pets spayed or neutered. Unneutered animals are a nuisance and a danger to themselves and others. TILL NEXT week. .. FOL awarded $3,000 grant Friends of the SyracuseTurkey Creek Township Public Library have been notified that they have been awarded a $3,000 grant by the Indiana Arts Commission and The National Endowment for the Arts.
