He did not make it. He died on the way to the vet only 1/2 mile after we left my place.
He jumped around a couple times then suddenly stopped breathing with his eyes open.
When I got to the vet they checked and he was gone. He had about an 1/8 inch hole on the side of his neck. Almost surely a bite wound.
It was prob due to an animal attack. Poss a racoon. But I will never know. The bite may have penetrated the windpipe.
The girls at the vet thought he may have had a precondition where his immune system was bad and that is why the pus built up so fast. Then again it may have just been too severe a bite.
I then continued on to my friends and we buried him in the woods near his house near a big tree. My friend did all the digging work. We wrapped in in a blanket and did a little ceremony.
I have had cats since I was 19. I am 54 now. 35 years. So it is kind of tough. I don't think I will be getting another right away.
I want to thank every poster personally who wished me the best. It was a long tough night but your tips and help really helped and I want to sincerly thank each of you for your kindness when I needed it.
Your my family and I love you all.
