I was wondering if anyone out there who has experience with sick cats could help me out with a little advice.

When I went to be last night, my cat, Bruiser, seemed perfectly happy and healthy. He was in the living room, brushing his fur, dancing along to some techo music and making goo goo eyes at some male actor on the television set.

He looked very much like he did in this photo:

Something really strange must have happened while I was asleep, because I awoke to the most unsettling wailing noises. I looked up and saw that Bruiser was hovering over me, standing on his hind legs and holding a kitchen knife in his paws.

I had never seen him like this before, so I quickly grabbed my camera and took this photo before locking him in a closet:

At first, I had assumed that I had forgotten to feed him before I went to bed; so I went into the kitchen to fill his bowl. Let me tell you, I was quite surprised to find that an entire family of baby mice had been decapitated, and their bodies had been used like bloody markers to write messages in what appears to be Aramaic over every surface.

If anyone out there has an idea as to what exactly is wrong with little Bruiser, advice or information would be greatly appreciated... and quickly please. He seems to have just about clawed his way through the closet door.

[many thanks to offixewizard, from whom I stole the second picture. And apologies to Smoke, whom I am sure is a great person with an awesome personality and doesn’t deserve to be mocked by the likes of me]
