My cat bit me. was wild when we got him. what diseases could he transmit?

Numerous: Cat bites are often problematic because of the deep/sharp teeth that cats have. This causes their wounds to be deep and difficult to adequately clean out of all bacteria. If you are having swelling/redness/pain at the bite site, you should see your doctor.
