I just accidently scholded(sp) my pet cat with my kettle when he was walking around rubbing against my leg. I didn't realise someone had let him in as I had put him out to do his business half hour earlier, when I looked down to see what it was touching my leg, my kettle spilt and about a shot-glass worth of boiling water hit his back. He let out a cat-scream and was running around the room as his fur has patches missing from where he got into a scuff the other day. He seems fine now but I'm guessing he's still in shock and pain. How do I comfort him? God I hate me right now.

Take him to a vet maybe

But what if they charge me £30 to tell me that he's okay. I'm sure he's fine, I just want to comfort him and I don't know how best to do it. He's not even strictly my cat, he's my brother's.

If hes in pain, please take him to the vet, they might be able to sort him out!
So sorry this has happend to your cat!
hope you cat gets better soon.

Oh dear.

If your cat will let you, try soaking a towel with cold water and pressing that gently on his back to take the heat out of any burn. Keep re-soaking the cloth occasionally to keep it cool.

If you're at all worried, I suggest taking a visit to your vet or PDSA to get your poor kitty checked over.

aww - poor cat
but these thnsk happen - if u think he'she aright then you might not need to go to the vets - but to be on the safe side its worth how ever much it cost

Cats creep me out but i fink its best to take him to the vet. Better to be safe than sorry. Burns can be tricky for humans so i dunno about animals. But saying that if your cat was in a lot of pain im sure it would let you know by the horrible noise they make in the middle of the night. Although i fink thats all to do with mating........sorry im getting of the point. Yeh i would take him to the vet.

Maybe you could ring the vets first to ask their advice?

Im sure it will be all good when my dog was alive my sis friend was having a bath but she puts the hot water in first like who does that and the dog jumped in it was so scary but she was fine btw she dident die from that so dont worry.
