I decided yesterday that worrying about rabies because of a skunk and a dead bat is probably a bit obsessive on my part. 🙂 So last night, I started to really explore Solo and her body and she came unglued every time I touched or came close to her rear end- so this morning I have dropped her at the vet’s to have them look at her and determine what is wrong with her. It may be that she turned on the charm trying to get help as many cats have done in the past with me. They are aloof or unapproachable until they are so wounded or ill they know they can’t find help that way. I probably sound like a nut case to some people- but living out here in a rural area and finding a dead bat on my doorstep and having skunks running around- rabies is a concern. Solo is the only cat not vaccinated against this dreadful disease something I will ask the vet to correct very soon. Hopefully, Solo just has a bad bite wound on her back leg or rear of some other explanation for her out of the ordinary behavior.
It sounds like a sensible precaution to me.
