So my Mom has 2 kittens. They are absolutely adorable. They are 15 weeks old. She just had them fixed last week and they are up to date on their shots.
I went to her house to help her with her TV (I know a LOT of people that have problems with the correct input). I was scratching Oliver, her black with a little white kitten, when he started playing around and bit my hand.
Now, I am allergic to cats so I knew I would have a reaction (it usually bubbles up for a while and then goes away). This is ridiculous though. And he’s had his shots too so I don’t know what this is or why it happened. Please also note that I washed my hands immediately after the chomp.
2 hours after the bite, around 3pm yesterday (it looks like a spider bite at this point!):
This morning at 7:30am:
It hurts, it looks totally infected, and it’s so red! For comparison this morning, I took a picture of my right hand so I could see the color difference. It really looks like a sunburn where he bit me!
Any thoughts? If I can do something over the counter, I would much rather do that!
I started thinking about this About Me part of my blog. I'm going to expand it just a little from the 3 words I had before.
I am a single mom. I love my son. We have been alone since he was 6 months old. He really is my sun, moon, and stars. I am very proud of him.
I am an entrepreneur. I started my driving business 2 years ago. I don't want to work for a "boss" ever again. I always tell people they can do it too. In what I do, there is no competition because there are plenty of people that need rides (and maybe that would help get some of these bad drivers off the roads!). I work hard and have fun on my own time doing what I like to do.
I really am a Netflix addict. When I am not working or doing something with my son, I am watching Netflix. There are so many shows that I've never re-watched anything either. I will watch anything and make my own opinion.
I am opinionated. This blog is really just my opinions and my life. People don't have to agree with me all the time. I welcome discussions and other people's opinion whether they agree or not. I'm not petty, I'm not going to block anyone for not sharing my opinion, why do people freak out these days when someone doesn't share their opinion? Who cares?!? There is a reason we all are different.
There's a lot more about me but you'll have to read the blog to find out!

Cat bites are serious. You’ll need antibiotics for it. Over the counter won’t do it.
Hope it’s gotten better! I have 3 cats but they’ve never bitten or scratched me where it broke my skin so I actually didn’t know that the bacteria in there mouth always causes an infection! Whoa!
It is slowly getting better. It itches so I know I’m healing. He’s still a kitten and doesn’t know any better. He was loving on me today when I went by to talk to my Mom about moving

Well that sucks. I thought of a cat had his shots that it would just go away. 😫

Sadly, no. The bacteria in their mouths always causes an infection if they break the skin.

Good to hear! & yeah, kittens do always bite and scratch until they know better. 😛 They are just so cute though!
