(cat) Wound on Back Leg Wont Heal

we have a cat that we allow outside, about 3 weeks ago we noticed some fur near his back leg was gone and there's a circular wound there and it wont heal, even after all this time. it leaks some kind of fluid, probably puss or something. we're not sure what it is and was looking to get some advice!

this open wound is obviously badly infected, if you don't get kitty to a vet for some antibiotics and get this looked after he will become very ill and could quite possibly loose the leg too. see a vet please for your kitties sake...♥

I would get your cat to a vet. I had a cat once who had a cut like that and it was the beginning of the end for her.
