If your cat bit you

[MollyWantsACracker]

AIBU to wonder what you’d do. Proper bite, puncture x 4, (one quite deep) blood.
She’s been vet checked recently, no problems. Bite happened whilst sitting on lap, me mnetting, random grooming. No signs she was irritated.

It’s quite painful 😣

I wouldn't
think of all the toxins that get concentrated in the flesh of a Predator
all the awful food that they eat
all that pet food yuck
Just get it quietly euthanized

Sounds awfully like the voice of experience...

Just get it quietly euthanized

I hope you're joking.

We have Cat Bite Christmas in our family. MIL was bit by SIL cat ( he was never a very nice cat) and she needed IVs and we ended up cooking as she was so poorly!

@etap, goodness no I'm a vegetarian I would never eat cat!

ohfortuna ^So it's like your life is lead in service to the cat??
Wtf, what's in it for you^
Good question.We adopted her into our family 14 years ago from friends moving from the country. I wouldn't have agreed if I'd known her issues. Our previous cat was the complete opposite.
If we gave her up she'd be euthanized, not an option, which is why we've worked hard at behavioural modification. That book I linked was a lifesaver because we were all highly motivated to make it work. She has a positive side: she's a very interactive cat - follows us around talking and wanting attention, often up on my lap. Other times she gets a psycho look in her eye and we know to intervene before it gets bad.
Without the nice part, or if the modification hadn't worked, we might have given up. Now she's going on 17 and mellowing slightly in her old age. Like all our family members, she has quirks and moods that we deal with.

I suppose that’s one advantage of having a cat with hardly any teeth!

To everyone saying you may need a tetanus, not necessarily. When DH stood on a nail we went to the walk in centre and he was told that because of his age and the fact he’d had all his boosters (presumably) there was no need for a tetanus. I’m needle phobic so it made my day hearing I wouldn’t need another one!

BTW I’m NOT saying don’t get checked out, I’m just saying a tetanus isn’t always necessary.

OP how's your hand now?

We have cats as a prophetic homage to the day when the last human is extinct and the cats rule the world.
Or rather, the 1% they don’t already rule.

when the last human is extinct
after they all died from infected cat bites
