Fleagor's wound is pretty much healed: he has a scar about an inch long
with a couple of very small scabs still hanging around.

He has become something of a house cat since the really bad weather
started nine days ago: alternating freezing and melting rain, then a
couple of days without rain and eventualy a few minutes of sunshine.  Now
it's snowing, and has been since before midnight Friday (some freezing
rain, sleet, etc. at first). The worst of it is north of where I live, but
not by much - the dividing line is about thirty miles away.

Wow. Actually, that is good healing time for such a gruesome wound! I'm
glad he is staying in.

Go Fleagor!  Great to hear that he is healing so quickly, and staying out of
trouble.

I didn't say he was staying out of trouble.  He's doing fairly well, but
there are still fifteen cats inside my small home, and some of them don't
get along in various degrees - several of them have gotten into
confrontations (nonviolent so far) with Fleagor.  So far, the fights have
all involved other cats, mostly CJ and Snowball with others - CJ because
nearly all the others hate him, and Snowball because she hates nearly all
the other cats.

There was a situation last night that could have easily gotten *me* bitten
by Fleagor: he was on my lap in the computer room when I had to get up ...
there were three others that would have been in his personal space if I
tried to put him down on the floor (the last time a situation like that
happened, it took two weeks of antibiotics, and two different antibiotics,
to get the swelling from the infected bites on my hand down) - I put
him on the table and managed to get out all right.  Fleagor is a large cat
with large teeth and a poisonious bite - I pity any cat *he* bites.

From reading the tracks in the fresh snow thin morning, I came to the
conclusions that pretty much all my cats are staying in and that Spot (the
resident feral tom) had been inside.  From the trampling on the top back
step, I concluded that several had tried to go out and decided to turn
back immediately after landing on the snow covered step: ther are only
three tracks in the yard, but the landing spot where they jump down off
the cat flap platform was well trampled.
