    Just as a quick note. Cats can have rabies. You might want to go and tell your doctor that you’ve received a cat bite from an unknown cat and get a rabies shot because once you start showing symptoms you’re already dead.

      Hm, yeah, this is a good point. This was at least 10 years ago so I think I’m probably safe but I agree with the principle in general.

      If a cat bite breaks the skin you should see a doctor regardless. Cat bites are no joke, and can give you a serious infection.

        Indoor cat bit and scratches my mom’s leg because its tail got caught.

        Cue a 4 month ordeal of constant wound care visits and packing infected, necrotic tissue…

        Just go get antibiotics immediately. Especially if they’re remotely deep.
