In you are concerned I would see a doctor as soon as possible. Cat scratches can lead to bad infections and worse if left untreated (this is due to the dirt/grim/etc that gets stuck in their claws when covering up their business/scratching in dirt/sand that ends up being transferred into a human when they are scratched by a cat).

Pu $$ ies! No pun intended! I was scratched many times by my cats and dog.. And I am fine. Yes, fine... define fine. hehe

I too have been scratched many-a-times with no issue (*knock on wood*) but I have known two people in my life that almost died from cat scratches due to not getting attention right away when they noticed unsettling things happening to them soon after the scratching incidents.
 
I feed this stray cat....well, a kitten everyday. Yesterday, as I went to feed him, I had the bowl in my hands and just turned my back on him to answer a call, he clawed at me and nicked my index finger. It bled a bit and I drove that back-stabbin' critter away.

Is this thing serious? I remember a similar incident when I was young and I kept it from my folks. Though I cleansed it and got some antiseptic cream over it, the wound got worse later. My entire palm was swollen and an artery/vein leading from the wound to my forearm had reddened. Very painful. The doc said it had become infected and I shouldn't have let the wound get wet.

This time around too, I wet my hands unknowingly. Will it get infected? Will I die? :yess:

Good luck. You won't die. I have known people that have had to get the MAJORS in IV antibiotics from skin wounds like yours and they're fine today. Cats are awesome but be cautious because they're still animals. I love cats, but my love for dogs trumps that. Get well soon. :)

Yikes! :panic:

You should see a doctor

See a doctor.
Thanks guys. I will.

Thanks Alex. That sounds serious.

If the attack was unprovoked, you need to lawyer up and take that cat to court
:lol

Yes. You are going to die.
**** yeah :rock

:lol

A guy in his late twenties who has prior experience with a serious skin infection needs advice from people on a toy forum about whether or not to see a doctor because he might get another infection?

Definitely see a doctor. You don't want to get rabies, as very few people survive rabies once the symptoms appear.

Symptoms generally begin within a few days, and include fever and flu-like symptoms, such as loss of energy and headache. They then progress to include anxiety, impairment of normal activities, agitation, and insomnia. As in animal cases, some humans exhibit a fear of water, which is tied to the anxiety and paranoia.

In all likelihood, the cat doesn't have rabies, and just reacted as a stray might. But it's not worth your life! Get it checked out.
I'd heard of infected people developing a fear of water but I thought it was a myth.

Next time stamp in its head...just sayin'
Nah man. I can't do that.

Good for you :1-1:

Amputation might be the way to go.
What do I know...
That's not funny....or..
What do I know...

That or suicide to avoid the grotesque mutation that'll follow. I heard things.
Will I get awesome powers?

Awww damn. Just outta luck.

Thanks mister.
 
'Tis a sad day guys. The kitten died yesterday and I wasn't even awake when it happened. As I was tired the day before, I overslept yesterday and didn't wake up early. It used to turn up at 6 in the morning meowing and moaning for food and as usual, my cousin bro fed it with some leftover chicken and fish.

He said that it only nibbled a few bites and then started going up the stairs. It must've been halfway there when it sat down and just stared at my brother for a while. When it started going up again, it P00ped twice. My brother wasn't feeling too good about his behavior and followed him to the room upstairs. To his disbelief, he saw it trembling and shivering violently. Before he could alarm anyone, it just gave up breathing and started foaming at the mouth. He alerted his father i.e. my uncle but it was too late. Knowing my fondness towards it, no one woke me up all this while. I was told about it only when I started calling it in the noon for it's usual lunch.

****. I miss that lil' devil already. Everyone misses him. I had hit him a couple of times and in spite of this, he used to purr around me all day even if for food or just pampering. I feel so guilty now, so helpless that I couldn't do anything to save him. Like a total loser. I don't even know what caused his death. ****. Bloody hell :(
