Cat Street Accidents

Street accidents are the main death rate for young animals and of serious wounds in cats of any age. The cats are exploratory for nature. When they are out of the house always they are crossing and returning to cross the street with traffic. There are no many drivers who could avoid an accident if a cat puts suddenly in their way, especially if it is at night or raining.

A knocked down cat by a car normally goes out running, if he can. He can disappear for hours and even days. If our cat gets to the house, initially we can ignore that he has hurt in an accident. It can seem that the cat is simply rumpled, wetted or fully of mud, surely with spots of oil in the hair. However, looking him more closely, there will be scrathings or skinnings indicating that has been an accident. Another sign are the frictions in the hoofs (if they were exposed when the cat returned to fall). Also it is very probable that the cat limps Or could not use the back legs or the tail.

What it is necessary to do
If our cat has knocked by a car, the first thing is to go to a clinic of urgencies of animals. If it is not possible to do this immediately, it is necessary to take the necessary things of the first aids, but not delay the visit to a medical center. Have always to hand a blanket, the "Portable cats" and a first aid kit, especially if we live near a street with traffic. With this precaution you can win an important few minutes in an emergency. If there is not nothing to transport him, put the cat carefully on a hard object, as a tray or a big map of highways, trying to take him the less possible, and wrap him in a blanket or a jersey in order that he don't bite or scratch us .

Although it seems that the cat does not have important wounds, take him to the veterinarian in order that he examines him. Could be internal hurts that we don't see but are fatal if they do not recover immediately.

If our cat does not appear and we are afraid that he could be hurt or dead, it is necessary to look for him meticulously for the surroundings. A wounded cat hides, for what it is necessary to look for him in isolated places. Give a description of the cat to the local hospitals of animals and to the stations of radio or television, besides warning the neighbors. Finally, if you ask in the municipal department of cleanliness, they might give you the sad news they have gathered the body of a cat in a gutter.
