Make sure to really scrub that wound, cat bites are nothing to scoff at, a vet tech friend of ours has some bad scars from cat bites.Timely post. Our house cat and barn cat do not like each other at all. But our house cat likes to go hang out in the barn.
Today, I made the mistake of petting the house cat in one part of the barn. Then I wandered over to the barn cat and attempted to pet her with the same hand. BIG MISTAKE!
That's gonna leave a mark.
Yeah, I've been very attentive to it. My oldest son was bitten by one of his housecats (aptly named Murderface) on a finger a couple of years ago. His two cats were having a spat and he foolishly tried to separate them. He didn't pay much attention to it other than normal hygiene. About five days later he landed in the hospital with a serious infection. The cat had managed to bite into the bone and the docs at the time were seriously concerned he might lose the finger. It all ended up well.
They can jump you know
