So today I was driving home from school with my mom, and she told me my cat, Scamper, was hurt.

She noticed that around the start of his tail was swollen, and that he hadn't raised it at all that day. But he walked perfectly.

Scamper is my baby, so I obviously became anxious.
It's been 11 years since I found him as a stray btw.

I thought: I'll look at his tail tonight, it shouldn't be that bad.

When I got to my house, Scamper was waiting by the door. He looked exactly like my mom described him.
I decided to take him to my room (because he's usually an outside cat) and let him chill there since its cold and rainy today.

I left my room to go check my blood sugar, but a little after I left this horrible yowling and snarling could be heard throughout the house.

I have two other cats, Tiger and Patches, who are only two years old.
Patches and Scamper HATE each other.

I ran back to the source of the growling, which was my sister's room.
Scamper was on her bed, blood pouring  out from some wound in the area were his hips and tail meet.

I shooed Patches out of the room, so my mom and I could take Scamper to the bathroom.

I noticed that the blood was watery and not very red. I immediately thought it was the swelling in his tail draining.

Together, my mom and I held Scamper down to find the wound. She held him and I looked for the scratch.

It was a puncture wound, a pretty big one...

The bleeding had slowed and it was pretty much pus draining by now.

I cleaned the wound with peroxide, and Scamper defiantly didn't enjoy that.

We're done cleaning, but I'm still pretty shaken up.

Scamper is old, an outside cat, and pretty protective of his territory. He's gotten into countless fights, and never gone to the vet once.
It's not bad for him, because I'm the one that cleans his wounds when he gets hurt, and I've done that often.

What makes this issue so scary is that Scamper sounded in pain when I was cleaning. And the pus and blood was tremendous.

I just hope he can heal..
