Thank you, appreciate the thought. Yes she will be fine, though she did require treatment on 3 of the wounds.

There are much more humane ways to put it down than to try to shoot it. Your odds of holding it still enough and killing it without unnecessary suffering are pretty slim IMHO.

If you decide the cat is insane, take it to the pound, or take it to your vet, and have them do it, please!

If the cat isn't always insane, then I would wait. If it freaked because there was a bad fight outside, it might have thought it was being attacked and couldn't tell from where....

Perhaps sleep with the cat in a secure place outside closed bedroom doors for awhile and see.... Is the cat usually wild or usually nice and calm?
