painful cat scratch - am i allergic to my cat?
my cat scratched me on my finger early in the day. its strange because the scratch still hurts now and when my other baby cat used to scratch me the pain would go away almost straight away. iv noticed this happening a few times, do you think i might be allergic?

Alternatively, as you seem to have given up your degree, how about studying to be a vet?
Yes - to common sense.
i dont know. my other cat (who is now RingIP) we had from like age 3 weeks and i never found his scratches painful. i am wondering if part of the reason the scratch is painful is because our cat that we have now was neglected by his owners and used to eat out of bins. he was like a skeleton, i think he was about a year or so old when we took him in, we only started noticing him when he made friends with our other cat, and now we feed him, take him to the vets, he basically lives in our house lol!
oh i cant really see my finger clealy at the mo as the only light is from my macbook and a lamp in the corner of my room. there is no pus tho ew hehe. it feels like there is a sharp pain where my scratch is.
lol
so does that mean you think i am or arent?
BTW I have had cat scratches that hurt for more than one day and I am still alive.
Seriously, a cat scratch is not normally a problem but cat's nails are very sharp and so the scratch will be sore for a couple of days - just bathe the scratch in water with a little dettol added and keep it clean. It is not a sign that you are allergic to cats. However, some people (even those that handle cats every day) do sometimes react to a scratch. If the scratch area becomes very red and hot to the touch, or you begin to feel unwell, then I would advise going to see your GP asap. If your arm starts swelling as well, forget the GP and go to A & E
Aren't cats banned on campus?
It could have rabies, A&E is the place to go. You could be delirious by tomorrow.
I completely agree. I've known it happen. If you get treatment in the first 48 hours it should be ok, if not he will probably die.
Tomorrow?:eek: I think that moment has already arrived.
It should have been today, i've been at a party tonight.
Not the time of your post, I was insulting yappy, woodbush. I failed.
I got it Jimmy
Am I alone in sometimes wondering if yappy likes pigeons? Coo.
Or baby dolphins?
