I’m so sorry to hear about this PC. Like everyone else, it just makes me sick. Sounds like Cosmo is one lucky cat. I hope that he heals up well.
I’m with drag0nfeathers-some people make me sick!! I’m so sorry for you and poor Cosmo-just a few inches and he could have had that BB hit him in the eye. This is why my cats never go out (I know some are very determined and slip out!) but I do NOT trust people.
Poor Cosmo! So sorry this happened, PC. Hope whoever did this gets what he deserves.
**Hugs for you and pats and treats for Cosmo**

only because 13 years ago I was feeding this wild kitten outside and noticed that it had a hole
in his neck. I thought someone shot him with a bb gun or pellet gun, I caught him and took
him to my vet to make sure it wouldn’t cause any problems or get infected. The vet examined
him and got tweezers and pulled out what he called a worble, it looked like a magot. He said
that flies lay one now and then, especially if they are outside in the heat. But if I didn’t catch
him and bring him in he wouldn’t be with me today, he is now 13 yrs old and has not been
outside since. That doesn’t mean he has one but I would have it checked out because it
could still maybe get infected if it is a bb.the reason we are sure it is a bb is because the day before he had nothing. we gave him a bath you see and he got handles all over. the wound he has now, well there are actualy two. a large one where it exited and a small one where it enter, right in a line of eachother. it also was very fresh when we found it.
but i had no idea flies did that! that is good info to know and watch out for!
I never knew either until that day, but they can lay a larvae on any animal, especially in the neck area. If you do a Google search “Removing a Warble from a Cat” (sorry I spelt it wrong the first time) but it will bring up some topics, but it is good to know if you have animals and you see a small hole on them have it checked out. I’m glad Cosmo is alright and I hope maybe somehow you’ll find out who did it to him, that is so cruel what they did. Animals can feel pain also!

The fly lays an egg on the grass… At least that’s how my cat got it. But, you can actually see a white thing in the middle of the hole. On my cat it was right under the collar. We found it about a week after she got really sick (the vet wanted to put her down, something about the liver?) They pulled it out gave her another round of antibiotics and she was just fine.
People like that sicken me. I don’t understand the need to torture animals. I don’t think many people have a conscience anymore.
