BTW: my hand is just fine, although I did have to take Mason to the vet Monday for the required rabies clearance. I even called the shelter and asked since he is MY cat, and it was ME he bit did I HAVE to take him. Apparently it's required by state law, with the penalty for not doing it a $25-$250 fine. We went to the vet! Which cost $30 for the vet to stick a thermometer in Mason's rear and tell me he did not have rabies... I could've done that myself! Oh well.....
