Starr Just Bit Me Very Hard!!!

[Killearn Kitties]

I hope your hand is feeling much better soon, Tracey. I know how sore those puncture wounds are. I remember Jessica bit me once, and oh did it sting! She got me, Alec and the vet with one swish of her head, so it probably wasn't a deep one, and we didn't need any further treatment.
Many years ago, the first time we took Daisy to the vet, she was a very very scared little girl. She sunk her teeth into Alec's arm and hung on for dear life. He needed a course of antibiotic injections after that one!

I'm going to be just fine. After I took my first antibiotic pill, the pain subsided a little while later and the slight swelling is also gone.

I lost power to my cable t.v. and had no internet access as of around 7pm last night so I sat and watched a couple of movies. Starr slept on my lap the whole time and I could tell that he wasn't feeling very well. He also didn't want to eat much of his dinner. He's feeling much better today so we're both going to be just fine. I'm still being very careful around him so that I don't startle him. He's always been a very scared, stressed out little boy. I know he didn't mean to do this and I've already let him know that I've forgiven him. I'm just glad that it happened while the regular doctor's were still there so I didn't have to go to the ER.

Thanks for all of your responses and get well wishes.

Ouch !!
I didn't know that cat-bites are so dangerous! Little Snoopy also likes to bite. I tried to learn her NOT to do that from the first day she was here. But she still does it ... .

So glad you're okay and all is good with Starr. He probably just had a "moment"; I doubt he would deliberately bite you or anyone for that matter.

Eve can get a little overexcited when she plays She has never biten anyone (to my knowledge) but she does hook those little claws in sometimes and I know it's not intentional. I have been biten and badly scratched by a cat - there is a difference when they want to hurt you and when it's just a consequence.

Starr loves his mommy too much to want to hurt her

Feel better,
Betty

Ouch! I'm glad everything is doing ok. CC isn't a biter, so he's only bit me a couple times and when he does it never breaks the skin. I never knew that cat bites were so serious, but better safe then sorry.
