The job of cleaning her wounds begins...
These are graphic photos and could be upsetting for children

	Kitty's neck had to be cleaned and washed, the hair removed and the 100's of maggots cleaned from the wounds.
A picture of one of the maggot's on the floor (above). Maggots debrided the necrotic tissue from the infected wounds and likely allow Kitty to survive this long (about 2 weeks) after her mountain lion attack.
