I took him to a vet on Wednesday. Doc said he was fine..he was limping because his paw prolly got stuck somewhere, thats why it was swollen. No fractures.
He gave him a good bat with ani-flea shampoo and I had him sprayed with flea spray as well. He looked so much better when I got him back home.
When I returned, I gave him some cat food. He ate it. Stuck around for a while and then went away. Came back around 9:00PM. Hung around for 5-10 minutes and then went off again. He hasn't come back since. I have no way to tell if he's moved off to some place cuz he was feeling better (no limp when he came back. The doc prolly gave him some pain killer) or if he got scared away by some other cat.
Anyway, for whatever reason, he hasn't shown up again since Wednesday and the last time I saw him, he was doing much better than the first time I saw him.
I just hope he's healthy and taken in by some other family.
you're lucky the cat wasn't badtempered! my friend took in a wretched looking stray cat last year...it had an infection or something, the poor thing was in pain, and when my friend tried to take a look, the cat scratched her badly (drew blood). my friend had to get anti-rabies shots or something.

It's an instinctive self-defense thing, animals don't attack to be nasty, they do it out of fear.
I'll tell you a lil trick, look into a cats eyes and slowly and purposely blink at them once or twice, in cat-language that means "hi buddy, i come in peace, I don't want to harm you, I just want to be friend", cats are clever animals, they're one of the few mammals who can relate our body parts to there's..
