Keep him plenty warm, try to let him rest and stay immobilized in case there is a fracture, and get him in to see the doc.Cat bites can be fatal, even for humans. Their mouths are filthy with dangerous bacteria. A friend of my mom's was bitten by her own cat and had to be hospitalized for weeks with the threat of amputation of the bitten hand. The infection rate of these puncture wounds is VERY high, so no matter what, the vet needs to see him right now.Regarding 'half of his body is upside-down', this sounds bad and could very well indicate a broken spine if the transition from right side up to upside-down is abrupt. If he's just in there and his body gradually turns over, it may be due 'only' to swelling or discomfort. Again, the vet will be able to tell and treat appropriately.I wish you the best of luck!</blockquote>
