Thank you C cg , Bez and Beefy for you replies.
Beefy sorry about your cat that is really hard to lose someone that you have nursed through the night.
The reason I asked is that Kit Cat has been really clingy more than usual the last couple of days and when he was snuggling last night I found claw or bite marks on both sides of his back.I don't know if an owl tried to get him(he weighs 12 pounds so he might have been a little heavy)or if the many foxes we have in the yard (that come right up to the house with me yelling at them and do not back off) may have gone after him.And tonight the same boss fox trouble maker had him cornered under a vehicle until I chased the fox away and grabbed my little guy.I hope the post about foxes being prey to cats is right and that the Kit Cat was just bating the fox.Anyways his claws all 12 in the front and 14 in the back will not be getting a trim until I get the fox problem eradicated.
