Alternatively, it may reflect an individual cat’s method of fighting the cat that runs away will tend always to get bitten on the tail base whereas the aggressive attacking cat will tend always to be bitten on the head or forelimbs. This may reflect inadequate treatment where the abscess never completely resolves. Many cats will excessively groom the injured area. Some cats may just be lethargic and have a fever. It may be possible to feel heat and swelling in the area of the bite. If cats have been bitten on a limb, the leg is usually painful and lameness is seen. The most common sites of bites are on the head, forelimbs or at the base of the tail.
Puncture wounds heal very quickly so there is often nothing to see or feel.
Your cat has had a fight, but there aren’t any bite marks. Female cats will also defend their territory by fighting with other cats. The frequency of fighting will depend on the number of cats in the neighborhood and particularly the presence of entire male cats. If this territory is breached by another cat they will defend it by fighting. In contrast, desexed male cats defend a smaller area of territory around their home. The desire for more territory and the need to keep intruders out of their existing territory means that they can fight with other cats. Entire male cats are very territorial they will defend an area around their home and continually try to expand the borders of their territory.
