damn cat bit while i was feeding it . i put the cat food into a little pile and was spacing it out with my hand becuse theres more than one cat and i put my hand right in play for the freaking cat to bit me , wrong idea and the bite was very painful. im a 30 year old man and i felt lie crying but like one comment says “pour peroxide on it and man up” is exactly what i did.

CAT BITES ARE A SERIOUS MEDICAL PROBLEM! Get treatment within 12 hours of the bite.

Cats bite unless they’re bothered by expressing anal glands.

that’s a stretch…
just put some peroxide on it and suck it up

check your vital signs. Is your heart still beating?
If not and you answer, you’re a vampire or something.

what about rabies? how do you take that into consideration? especially if the cat is away from your grasp, how would one know if the person would have it or not?

what bout young cat bites like a 9 month kitten?

my son was bitten by a mother cat (domestic house cat) when he was 15 months old. We seen where the cat had bitten him on his wrist and took quick action and cleansed the wound throughly. However, what we did not notice was that he was also bitten on the other wrist and by evening his arm was swelling badly. We took him to ER and he was put on antibiotcs but by the next day the swelling was worse so he was admitted to the hospital on IV antibiotics for 5 days. Cat bites are VERY SERIOUS
