My cat bit me!?!


Question: In my arm! I was wearing a sweatshirt so he didn't get his teeth into me too bad, but I have like a slight indent where his tooth was...I washed it right away twice with warm water and antibacterial soap and then put first aide ointiment on it...

Do you think I'll be ok? It only slightly stings a little not to much pain...I know cats are known for having dirty mouths and can cause infections if they bite you in soft tissue/hand area

I look like a walking scratch post....sounds like u did what you are supposed to ....it will sting but u will be ok...keep putting the ointment on so it wont leave a nasty scar

get checked for rabies..

if your cat had it's rabies shot at your vet then, you should be ok and if you feel like it check it out with you doctor.

i think you will be fine, it may just be sore for a little while.
