My cat bit me a few years back. I thought I was alright after thoroughly cleaning the wound. Then I went to bed and woke up with a hand the size of a watermelon and essentially paralyzed.

Thankfully I got the IV antibiotics in time. It took a few days for my hand swelling to go down and for the infection to clear.

Be careful out there people. Obviously I still have my little fury guy and love him to death but just be mindful of how severe a cat bite could be.

Thanks,
