Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 7 months old

Cat was gone for 2 days - just came home and she has a small cut to her leg with slight bleeding. She seems happy, purring, eating and sleeping but I don't know if I should be worried?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Harley! If she is eating, active, not limping and the wound isn’t deep and only superficial you can just watch her for any changes. Be sure she doesn’t excessively lick the wound. You can always post a picture for us to look at. I wish you the best!
