Is there any way a domestic cat bites could become fatal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I can think of 2: An untreated cat bite could lead to cellulitis & eventually to blood poisoning. As the infection spread through the blood it could eventually be fatal. Though rare in the us , a cat could acquire rabies & pass it through a bite & prove fatal.
