What is cat scratch?
A cat scratch is a break in the skin from a cat’s claws or teeth. Most heal on their own, but cat scratches can become infected, and animal bites and scratches also carry a small risk of rabies in Turkey.
Why cat scratch happens
Scratches or bites from a stray or pet cat. Bacteria on a cat’s claws and teeth can enter the skin, and cats can carry an infection called cat scratch disease.
Typical symptoms
- Warmth, pus or a red streak spreading
- Swelling and redness around the scratch
- Mild pain or itching
- Swollen glands near the scratch after a few days
- Red scratch marks on the skin
