Serious: Did you take antibiotics and is your tetanus shot up to date.The flora in the mouth of the cat includes Pasteurella, Staph, Bartonella, and Streptococcus species plusBites from cats develop infections more frequently than bites from dogs. That is because teeth of a cat are sharp, pointed and can cause deep wounds. If not see someone.Also if unvaccinated can have rabies.
