How abscesses come about




My friend Carrie snapped these candid shots of two cats making a ruckus in her neighbourhood - a close-up reveals that the encounter is anything but friendly. Fighting between cats is common as our cities create a highly dense feline population which felines typically don't appreciate (they like their personal space). Fighting not only leads to abscesses, which are incredibly painful and can make cats extremely ill - but its also how feline AIDS is transmitted.
