cat has bitten my sons cats tail?

hi , ive just dropped my son and his wife off at the airport, thier cat megs tail was bitten last night by another cat, it is limp this morning, she will be going to the vets tomorrow, will she be ok untill tomorrow and should i bring her to my house, bearing in mind i have 7 cats, but i have a spare room she could be locked in for the time being, if i leave her at her house which is also a mutiyple cat household there will be no one there over night, i am very tempted to bring her here just to be able to keep an eye on her, what would u do, i dont want to stress her by moving her but i need to keep an eye on her, i do go down for a couple of hours morning and night,and my daughter pops in, in the afternoon after work unfortunatly i am not able to stay at my sons over night.oh dear things alway happen when u dont want them to.

Update:

hi thanks for the answers i have just been down and her tail seems to be moving a little more shes not in any discomfort at the base of her tail she let me touch her there, its just about half way down, i am leaving her there as she seems in good spirts, very fussy eating well i will go down later to give them thier tea and chicken im just cooking for them, (very spoilt grand kittys) see how she is in the morning get her to the vets after work tomorrow just to check.

    I agree with Answerless - best to leave Meg in her own environment with familiar smells and places to hide/be safe.

    Cats are very in tune with their sense of smell and they rely on it heavily in most situations. Taking Meg to your place will definitely not be good for her. New human smells, coupled with that of many other new cat smells, will more than likely upset her greatly - whether locked away or not. She needs to feel secure and safe whilst she's in a weakened state.

    Make sure you feed her her meals and try to spend a bit of time with her when you do so. Even if she just wants to hide, let her do so, but she will know you are there anyway. She will be fine by herself for one night.

    I would suggest possibly cleaning the wound with warm soapy water, unless this has already been done, but if you are taking her to the vets anyway, then they will clean if necessary and give her the right treatment. You don't need to upset her more than she already is...

    Hope this helps!

    You have the right idea in wanting to bring Meg back to yours. If you would leave her at your son's house, she might get lonely or get worse, and if your not there it may be even worse when you show up in the morning.

    Going to the vets will help alot as my friends cat was bitten by another one and when they took him to the vets they gave the cat some medicine and thy saids he would be fine in a few days.

    Hope I helped and I hope Meg gets better x :)

    If she's going to the vet,it's best to leave her in a familiar place to recover. The cats she lives with won't hurt her as she'll go curl up and sleep. To take her to your house then lock her in a room is like punishment to her,so take her to her home and just check on her 1-2 times a day. She'll be fine til you get her to the vet. They're very good at staying out of the way if they're hurt. Best to leave her in her usual enviornment and just check on her.

    Leave her where she is as she is used to that environment, but make sure you do get her to the vets as soon as you can. Cat bites are really nasty and often cause infections and abscesses, vet will probably just give her an antibiotic shot and a bit of pain relief.

    could you be extra loving on your abuser? properly, you won't be able to assume a cat to be extra loving in the direction of your son. anybody is suited who has pronounced that Darcy is protecting himself from a tormentor. The remark that stands out to me the main is the place you're saying that Darcy could comprehend your son is playing????????? WHAT?????? this is loopy. there is not any way Darcy can in all danger comprehend this...and what could it rely if he did whilst all of it ends up in her being pulled approximately and shoved. Your son might of finished another issues to her which you probably did no longer see because of the fact he's behaving as though he's somewhat afraid of your son. you'll be finding in the direction of training your son. you're actually not demonstrating lots of compassion to your cat in suggesting which you're waiting to have Darcy destroyed! there are lots of no kill sanctuaries that could willingly take him off your arms and locate him a house he merits. by skill of all skill touch a cat behaviorist yet you're deluded in case you think of they'll practice your cat. they'll seem to alter your son's behavoir and want that the cat comes around to ultimately tolerating being in his presence. Your son has finished diverse harm on your cat. Darcy is the harmless in this he shouldn't pay to your son's incorrect along with his existence.

    Yeah you should take it to the veterinary soon because once my cat got bitten by another cat and it kept gettin worse and worse then when I took it to the veterinary they cured him and told me that cats mouths have lots of germs and those germs were giving it an infection...
