A cat who had been wandering around an office park was brought to SPCA Randburg recently. He had a nasty-looking scratch on his face which extended across his left eye. Because the injury looked quite bad, and the SPCA Randburg staff were expecting a mark to remain on his face, the cat was named “Scar”.
