Okay, so Sati is evil incarnate. I fed everyone two days ago and then walked away to start the run of litter box cleaning (there are 4 boxes now in 3 different rooms), when I heard a yowl. We're not entirely sure what happened other than the fact that she attacked Peanut. Yes, poor little Peanut who has already had enough of a rough life.
Misty took him to the vet and, a couple hundred dollars on the credit card later, we found out that he had to have a tooth pulled. We actually knew that would happen b/c it was only half in the socket and turned on its side. He also had a tiny tooth mark and swelling under his jaw (you can see it in the photo above if you look really close), so we can safely assume she bit him. But, she didn't stop there - he also has a scratched cornea in his eye. He had to stay overnight at the vet and get fluids (he was running a very high fever). He came home with antibiotics and may still have to get the infection in his jaw lanced for drainage. He's been very clutchy since he got home.
Anyone know of obedience school for cats? The only solution we could really come up with is to separate to feed. It is annoying (imagine separating 3 of your own cats when the easiest places to put them are already taken by foster animals), but we'll do it. Did I mention that Tasha decided to go after Shelby tonight during their feeding (don't worry, she's okay)? I don't think we have enough rooms to separate everyone!
