The vet called yesterday and told me that after they sedated and shaved Kodiak, these were his findings:

Kodiak was bit several times in his underbelly. The vet said based on all the wounds and damage left behind, the dogs, shook, rolled and sheared this cat. I did not know what shear meant, so when I asked, here was his reply. It is when a predator is attacking a cat with such fierceness that the tissue is ripped away from not only the skin, but the muscles as well! 🙁 He is concerned that the amount of bacteria that was able to fester inside Kodiak because I couldn’t find him in time, has made the tissue that wasn’t injured in the mauling to become infected as well. Kodiak has two drains in him now. My vet said that it will be a long time before Kodiak even looks normal. They are keeping him until Monday. When he does get released, he will need to be quietly confined (I’ll put him upstairs now that all the workers are gone) He will need to be medicated daily and watched closely.

During the build, destroyed along with most of the patio room were the custom built cages Mike designed for me. They were 5’x6′ triple tiered and lined on the back wall. I did ask the crew to save them, but somehow they just got smashed and carted away. So, I will keep him upstairs and I will keep  you updated on his progress. He does still have a fever though that the vet is hoping by Monday will be back under control. I want to go to him, hold him (the cat not the vet!) and tell him it will be okay now. I also would want to tell him that I wish I had found him first, before he made his way back to me. But at least now, he is getting help. The dogs have vanished. No one has seen or heard from them since.
