This is  for anyone this happens to.

My old C.J.  cat was fine on Monday,  on Tuesday, I went to scratch his
ears and one ear was swollen up like a balloon,

I have been so worried, I am housebound and have to rely on others to
help me, and could not get him to a vet.

It did not seem to hurt him,

I e-mailed a very nice person who has a "No kill" cat shelter

She assured me that he had a "hematoma"

Which is a broken blood vein in his ear.

She said that it would take about a month for it to start healing, and
there was no need for a vet,

This has never happened to me before and I cannot remember how many
cat's I have raised.

Just in case this happens to any of you,  I wanted to share this.

If any one wants to help this nice lady out.. which I want to.

Her name is Barbara, and I think the addy is

This is not a spam,  She does not know I am sharing her addy

If this is offensive to anyone please flame me.

I am so relieved,  I thought my kitty might have cancer or some such

Best regards to this group.

I do not have the group saved, so e-mail me with any comments
