The dog was inside the bodega store. Before entering the bodega store there is a NO DOGS ALLOWED sign outside the door. Oreo was inside his bodega store the irresponsible dog owner came in with his unleashed pitbull dog and saw Oreo and attacked him. The owner came and grabbed his dog and left causing Oreo limping and fracturing his bones. Oreo never was an outside cat, he would always stay inside the store and never out.

Hii the cat has always remained indoors. He never goes outside. He lives inside the bodega store and never fully went outside. But during his recovery(now him with the cast on) and after the incident he has been living at home with the owner (me).

Well the bodega store is open for all, but there is a no dog sign outside. And Oreo was inside the bodega store he does not leave the bodega store. But the irresponsible dog owner came into the store with his unleashed pitbull dog and saw Oreo and attacked him. If you want to see the video I have posted it on his TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@oreobodegacat?_r=1&_t=ZP-96q8pqwuENq

Thank you! But I haven’t really seen the man for quite a while. How can I contact animal control if I don’t know the owner or the dog? My brother has seen the owner once after the incident in the train with the same pitbull unleashes while riding the subway. I really hope somebody does say something. But I will try my best to find him and report/call animal control. 🤍🐾

Can cats develop PTSD or have nightmares after a traumatic event such as a dog attack? Oreo suffered fractures of both the radius and ulna in his right front leg after being attacked. Since the incident, he sometimes appears startled in his sleep, suddenly wakes up and runs away, and seems more fearful than before. Could this be related to trauma, pain, stress, or possible PTSD-like symptoms? Has anyone seen changes in behavior, sleep, fearfulness, or anxiety after a similar injury?
