How about cat scratch fever? Its often overlooked, but is a real entity. My
son got it shortly after getting scratched by a new kitty we adopted. I had
totally forgotten about it as a possibility when it happened. My mother had a
friend whose son had died many years before when I was a child. Rocephin
seems like a good thing. Ask if her kitty is an outside cat. If its a cat who
is in all winter and suddenly rediscovers outside in the spring he might be
clawing into bark or digging for personal reasons.
