oooh sounds painful ... konch don't want to worry you but if his cheek is swollen and he has a black eye are you sure he hasn't fractured something ...  has he seen a vet?

oh dear, they must play exceptionally rough as cats are quite resilient on the whole.

i dont know if a raw steak on the eye would last long enough to do any good  :rofl:

Chipper has now got a black eye and swollen cheek from slamming (or rather his brother slamming) his head into the floor. I should re-name him Hatton!

I guess some cats havent got the hang of this balance and agile thing.  Chipper is forever falling off the bed, sofa or my lap  :-[

Ah bless him ... sounds like he just clonked it on something.  Zephyr did something similar when he was little.  He came in one day with a big scratch on his nose, which was all swollen, and minus three front teeth (which never grew back).  I think he fell out of the tree  :rofl: but within a couple of weeks he was fine.

The lil'ginger is much better now thank you for asking.  i think he must have bashed it the other week while being chased by big bro.  But the nose is back to cute and straight and the boss-eyed look is now only when he opens his sleepy eyes when giving me a "aint i sweet mum" look.

I would agree, the sight of the third eyelid is usually a sign all is not well.

If his 3rd eyelid is showing there is a problem and a vet visit is needed

If you notice a difference and other symptons are showing then have your vet look at him as a safety net. It could be a bite or the like but best to have it looked at to put your mind at rest.

Broken nose for a cat?
« Reply #1 on: February 14, 2007, 14:25:33 PM »
Is it possible for a cat to break his nose?

 Chipper (the one pictured) used to have a lovely little dished white nose however i noticed last night it is now resembling a boxer and looks swollen altho he doesnt mind me touching it. Also he has a habit of keeping his 3rd eyelid closed so looks boss-eyed! 

He used to be soo pretty and cute but is now turned into a little monkey who bites my chin and eyebrows at 4am for breakfast!
