thank you mmddll, Laurel! God bless you!
As for the real nature of the wounds, I will have to wait until the hair start falling to see; he is so furry it's hard to see where he is hurt... He looks like he has been fighting with a bunch of dogs and of cats. He has bite wounds as well. Hard to tell whether his paws have been bitten... His tail' tip is full of dried up blood!
This cat is so docile and tender and patient, he reminds me sometimes as a lamb for his softness...

When he wants petting, he just stands in front of me and looks at me with a smile on his face!
