just keep an eye on it, you should be fine, clean it with peroxide a few times a day and use triple antibiotic ointment on it

Reply:Yes you will be fine me cats scratch me all the time
Reply:Hope your cat's has had it's shots? Suggest you clean your wound by washing w/soap %26amp; water, then swab w/alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, if you have it. Put on some antibiotic cream or similiar. It should be better, watch out for signs of infection, k?

Reply:youll b fine! just clean it up good and you will b fine! dont get so nervious nelly!!
Reply:It just gets red and swells up slightly because white blood cells rush to the area to combat anything from the outside that could get into your bloodstream through the cut. The redness will go away when the cut completely heals up, but it wouldn't hurt to keep it clean.
Reply:If you do not know the cat and it is a stray it could be a rabies carrier. Take no chances and ask your family Dr. what to do.
Reply:I think you will be fine mine scratch me all the time. Just wash it with soap and warm water then maybe put antibiotics on it.
Reply:I would try and find out if it is the neighbor's cat, and if so is it vaccinated? If it is a stray, I would try and catch it in a humane trap and have it observed for 10 days (I believe this is the length of time to observe for Rabies).





Since the wound isn't a puncture, and from the sound of it didn't draw blood your risk level is probably minimal, but still there was contact with the animal's saliva. I would be careful and go to the doctor if you start feeling ill.
Reply:you should be fine its probably red because the cat probably almost scratched you
