Circuit: rash and ill-advised behaviour (as per)

I had to rescue Circuit from 2 feral tom-cats last night. They had come from London Fields at the bottom of the road, I think, and were probably disputing territory. Circuit, being essentially an (over) inquisitive cat, seems to have got between them somehow and both chased him. He ran up into his archway den but one climbed up after him and here's the result--bitten paws.
I was pretty wary of the tom-cat but I made it back off with a stick. Those things are HUGE and you do NOT want to walk underneath one of their perches!!



All of his paws are bitten and there are bits of dry blood on his coat too. He's rather subdued today.
