CCL,

If the bite has a red rash around it, you'll need to get medical attention. I got bit by a cat a year ago when I went to Kimmy's (Ramanth) house. I was trying to grab a pregnant stray and she turned around and clamped (and I DO mean CLAMPED!!) down on my right pinky finger and tore it open. There is no other pain like it except for childbirth!! I also cleaned it out with Hydrogen Peroxide and put Neosporin on it. Within 24 hours, there was a red rash running from my pinky finger to just past my wrist. I went straight to the emergency room. The doctor there told me if I had waited another 12 hours, I would've been admitted to the hospital and given intervenous antibiotics. He told me I should've had stitches, but because I didn't get medical attention right away, ti was too late. He also told me that cat bites are one of the WORST bites a person can get.

I'm SURE Paddy didn't mean it. It's new surroundings to him and not being able to see I'm SURE has everything to do with it.

Please keep us posted on your progress. You and Paddy will be in my thoughts and prayers.
