BITES AND SCRATCHES

If you are bitten or badly scratched by a cat, wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water, then isolate the cat. If there are signs of infection, call your doctor.

Many people, who have been bitten by cats, admit to having cornered them for one reason or another - teasing them, or in the case of strays, trying to catch them.

A biting cat may be sick with rabies, distemper, a tumor, or a virus. All of these ailments are potentially dangerous to humans.
