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.

Good to know: Cat scratch disease can cause swollen glands one to three weeks after a scratch, even when the wound looked minor.
