Kitteh bit me! Ouch!

[bicentennial_baby]

It's a tiny puncture wound on my thumb...Ouch! I know the risks of infection, so if it looks bad in the a.m. or tomorrow, I'll go to the Dr. But, OW!

1. Cat Scratch Fever!

get your tetanus booster. a must with baby kittehs around. or any kittehs, for that matter. you never know where those claws and teeth have been :-)

put something like Neosporin on it and cover with band-aid. you should be fine. but do get that tetanus booster.

2. I got one in 2001...am I ok?

It is cleaned and bandaged now. :)

4. with kitties, having Neosporin in the house is a "must"

for bites and scratches. Never on purpose, mind you (except one of our cats is evil and bites the living sh*t out of you if you look at her wrong). But I have more scars than I care to count, including a three-inch, perfectly straight scar down the center of my forearm. That one hurt! And I didn't do the Neosporin thing for several hours, hence the very visible scar, I think.

13. That's pretty much how he was when he bit me!

He's a little fireball when he has the crazies...He's all mellow now. :eyes:

12. Rule number 1 for all people owned by cats.

Always keep a bottle of hydrogen peroxide around, great for treating wounds due to cats.

Kittens are rough when they play.
