What happens if a cat loses a fight?

Losing a fight affects a cat both physically and mentally. During a fight it may suffer scratches, bites, and bruises.

Bacteria in the mouth and claws make wounds prone to infection, with redness, swelling, or pus. A badly beaten cat may develop psychological trauma, becoming sensitive, depressed, or withdrawn.

First examine, clean, and disinfect the wounds and give needed medicine; for serious injuries, go to a clinic. Comfort the cat in a quiet, comfortable place and avoid stress.
