Please watch your husband. He could get an infection from the cat and if it is not treated he could end up in the hosp with IV going. Be sure he cleaned the area very well and watch for red lines going up or down for injured area. If you see any of this go to doctor or ER AsAp. The same thing happen to my exhusband and if he had waited any longer he would of been in the hosp. The only thing that we could think of was that the cat we got came from a home that had all carpet and in the house we lived in had some hard wood floors. The poor little cat didnot adjust. He had come from a home with many cats. So being introduce to other cats was no big deal. Hope and pray both cat and hubby does ok.
