Watch yourself carefully for any signs of infection in the next few days. Cats are very fine companions, but beware of Cat Scratch Fever (which is really cate bite fever.)

Thanks.

I’ve been bitten, scratched, kicked, or slobbered upon, by almost every domesticated animal, and a few wild ones, over 60 years.

No bad issues, so far; but it is a good idea for everyone to keep their tetanus shots up to date. Bites can be bad...

Well said..... even with a thorough clean up the fever can still get you
