    Get thee to a doctor ASAP. It will infect within hours. If you haven't had a tetanus shot recently you'll need to get one. Cats bites are serious so please get it treated.

    Call your doctor. If he can't see you today or first thing in the morning, go to the ER. You need to start on antibiotics right away.

    It's that one puncture wound that will cause all the problems. Remember where your cat's mouth has been . . . . .

    I agree - if the puncture is not bleeding, the bacteria are trapped inside - bleeding is the body's way of cleaning out a wound.

    Get to your doctor or ER now please!
