I recently got bit by a stray that didn't seem feral (I picked them up to pet them, dumbass autistic move from me) and they got distressed and bit and scratched me. I used alcohol and soap to attempt to clean it. I oke up this morning feeling not too terrible, I had a runny nose but I had that prior to getting bit and scratched.
Anyone experienced something similar to this?
>imagine not curbstomping an animal that bites the hand that feeds
Catcucks
Cat knew op is a fag and knew he deserved it
OP didn't say anything about feeding it.
and it's irrelevant because dogs do it all the time

>cat thread
>anon can't help but talk about dogs
it's all so tiresome
that's not the hand that feeds, that's some other hand. more importantly it's statistically rarer than dying from walking from your front door to the sidewalk so who gives a shit? toxoplasmosis gondii kills 20x more people than pitbulls. kid looks like he crashed a bicycle. bicycle crashes are tens of thousands of times more common.
on the other hand cats scratch you all the time even if you're their owner for not respecting their autistic rules. i'd rather have a guard cat that only attacks strangers.
People like to live in internet bubbles where they read news articles from across the years but don't really understand statistics
Pitbulls are 50% as deadly as flatscreen TVs
Despite being 6% of dogs, pitbulls kill three as many people as all other dogs combined
So 94% of dogs all existing at once are 16% as dangerous to us as a fucking television. Most dog attacks are caused by abusive owners too so if you just banned fat, ugly, and short men from owning dogs that issue disappears.
If toxo is 20x deadlier than pitbulls, that's only 10x deadlier than TVs. And you only get it by being a slob AND a toddler at the same time. Deserved. AND you don't get it from pet cats, only full time outdoor cats. So it means nothing.
Perspective moment: Being a pedestrian is 155 times more dangerous than sitting in front of a TV.

cats cause minor wounds less often than paper. imagine crying about a cat when a literal piece of paper is more likely to cut your hand a little.
i got scratched deep once. cats have bacteria on their claws that makes their scratches hurt more. you need to disinfect any deep scratch.
It's nothin' dangerous
I feel no pain
I've got to cha-cha change
You know you got it when
You're goin' insane
It makes a grown man cry, cry
Oh, won't you make my bed
I remember being scratched by cats when I was a kid, didn’t wash or use alcohol on it. Never had any issues but I probably never have been scratched by strays since those tend to avoid people.
rabies is pretty fucked
you can show no symptoms for weeks or months
then it starts to really hit you and you're literally a dead man walking
>literally a dead man walking
>he doesn’t know about the Milwaukee treatment.
My old cat (now diseased) got bit by my rabid neighbour's cat. He got an infection so bad you could see the bone. He had to take super strong medicine for it to heal. I think it took a really big toll on him because we had to put him down a year+ later.
That cat really had personality, miss him.
you'll be fine. my dick grew 4 inches after getting bit
I got bit on both of my hands once. They were swollen, hot, and itchy for a few days. I heard after that happened that cats have terribly germy mouths and you should go to the doctor if you get bitten by one hard enough to break the flesh.
I once looked this up. If the cat itself isn't ill after 10 days, it didn't have rabies. Do you still see the cat regularly?
You'll probably be fine.
Assuming the animal wasn't rabid the worst you're likely to encounter is a staph infection or cat scratch fever, which just means you'll get some swelling and tenderness, if it doesn't go away on its own its usually just an antibiotic course.
In a real shit show they may have to lance and irrigate the wound.
If the bite drew blood get a rabies vaccination just to be safe. Rabies is one of those things where you dont actually start to feel bad until youre going to die. Otherwise
>I got scratched by a cat and nothing happened
you're probably fine.
Some neighborhood cat scratched my arm when I was like 8. Was barely a scratch and I don't even remember it bled any, but it still got infected right away and when it finally healed it left a scar.
Kind of alarming how quickly it got all red and puffy before I was done playing and went back inside. Learned something that day...
I asked my dad for one and he said "you'll fine, don't worry about it"
I'm gonna die aren't I?
I am so paranoid I can't even relax, at any moments, rabies may or may not wake up and have me slowly die...
I Don't wanna die, I got a whole life to live for
I am so scared
Look at this scaredy cat anon pressed the post button a total of 4 times. Youre not gonna die anon. Not today at least
If you ever get bitten by a wild mammal it's worth getting a rabies shot. Unless you want to potentially get rabies

Not unless you like needlessly poisoning yourself
Go to odysee, find sam baileys channel, she has some data on this
Or don't and be a nagger homosexual
You are incredibly retarded.
At least I'm not afraid of things that don't exist, you bumbling npc
Cat bites (even stray) have low chances of rabies (at least in US). but they do have a high risk of infection, and if it spreads tot he hand it can fuck your shit up and cause permanent disability within a few days. antibiotics are recommended.
Cats are more likely to have rabies than dogs, but rabid cats are too fried to bite. Usually.
You are going to become a werecat anon. I advise stocking up on chicken and fish.
Note: My arm and hand doesn't seem to be swollen or anything, it has some bite marks and stuff and does not itch or having any pain when I rest my arm down
