    My cat (younger one) got a fright by neighbours dog this morning. I can only assume she tried climbing the fence. She ran inside all puffed up. Then i noticed her foot was bleeding and she is missing 2 claws that i can see.

    So i wiped it off and applied some cream i had from when she had a neck sore.
    I would say its a little sore but not serious.
    Anyway will they grow back or cause a problem? I do not want to bring her to the vet unless its seen as serious. I do not want to spend a fortune and have them just bandage her up which i could do myself :D

    Last night i caught her on our roof... again.. well last time it was the other neighbours.

    Aye the claws will grow back. I would get it checked by a vet to make sure that it won't get infected where the claws grow back. How does it look now?

    Looks fine. she is a litte quiet.. stopped bleeding ages ago. she just came on to my lap :D
    I think she will be fine but will keep an eye on it. I will continue to apply the cream i have just in case.

    This is a cat that goes mental sometimes and as a baby ran into too many doors :D She still does sometimes.. runs up walls then runs into doors if she is in one of those moods.

    you could also try bathing her foot in a mug of warm water with a teaspoon of espom salts disolved in it... Its very healing...

    hopefully she'll be grand
    ;)
