Catbite Update
Wednesday, 11.05.08 @ 11:47AM I appreciate all the comments and emails I received about my run-in with an excited cat. Two days later, my wounds are much better.
Yesterday was a bit rough because I could hardly type with my left hand. The bruising showed up, making it look a lot worse than it really was. I should have taken a picture, since the bruising looks better today. But I never had any red streaks or pain above my elbow. Today I can use my fingers as well as ever. There is still a little pain when I straighten my arm. It really smarts when I try to lift something, because that flexes the affected muscle. I think I will be all better again within a few days. Now, to tackle the bloodstains on the carpet...

Don't wait.
Cat bites are bad, cat teeth are loaded with nasty bacteria, cat claws... you don't want to think about it....
Please go see a doctor.
My thoughts are on with the others, you should get to the doctor.
At any rate, one thing no one has mentioned is the need for a current tetanus shot. The doctor said you can also contract that through a baite. So, check your records. There is no cure, which is why I really think you should be careful!
