Idk, but my first thought was that this cat looks uncannily like Huey Freeman. I think it's the eyebrows

It actually does, LOL!

Huey face, Riley attitude.

Huey would absolutely bite his "owner"

Clean! Disinfect! Watch for signs of infection!

Any violent cat owner knows it's: Wash with water!*

A buddy of mine recently got blood poisoning from a cat bite on their hand, it's rare but it does happen.

Personally I don't worry when my car scratches me, but I still wash it and watch to make sure.

Iirc, you don't have to worry about a cat scratch (beyond the normal) but if they bite you, you need to go to the hospital and get checked out.

I had cat scratch disease last year, and do not recommend it. Very painful and uncomfortable. If a cat bites or scratches you hard enough to break skin, clean and disinfect immediately. If you feel ill after a couple of weeks to a month, test yourself and kitty for Bartonella Henselae. If positive, prepare for three months to a year of misery.

Cat scratch fever, it turns out, is real and not cool
