Cat seems old and enervated, but is stronger. I have now twice applied a topical antibiotic to the abscessed area – which appears to be healing some. (I am surprised I could touch the animal with a finger – and that is a function of weakness.) It ate pretty well this evening.

I am on the fence on whether to euthanize the cat. I am afraid it will pass away over the fence in the neighbor’s yard.

Right now, I am good with letting it live out its remaining days in this yard, and her shelter.
