How is little dear, Nermal, this morning? I'm sure you already know this, but if he was in a scrap with another cat, you need to watch him for abscesses from puncture wounds. I had a cat many years ago that nearly died. She had an abscess on her tummy I hadn't noticed. I took her to the vet when she was very listless, not eating, hiding under the bed. Poor kitty. The vet drained it, gave her antibiotics, and she bounced back.

Yes, I'm trying to keep an eye on that spot on his shoulder especially. Is it safe to use Neosporin on a cat? I'm a bit concerned about him licking it. He seems to be feeling some better today. He did get in bed with me last night and this morning, and wanted breakfast this morning, although when I gave him his usual cat food, he just sat there staring at it disdainfully until I spiced it up with some tuna. I think he has recovered from the indignity of the bath, but he is still laying around mopey. He isn't limping this morning though. I can always tell when he isn't feeling well because he sleeps in odd places.
