How to deal with being scratched by a cat?

After being scratched by a cat, you should first pay attention to cleaning the wound, stop bleeding and bandage the wound in time, and inject rabies vaccine as soon as possible. If you don't get a vaccine, you may increase the chance of rabies.

1. Cleaning the wound: After being bitten by a cat and bleeding, you can clean the wound with warm water first, or repeatedly with soapy water, or press the wound to squeeze out the contaminated blood.

2, hemostasis dressing: After the wound is cleaned, you can choose to use clean gauze to stop bleeding.

3. Injection of rabies vaccine: it is necessary to inject rabies vaccine into the health and epidemic prevention department in time to prevent rabies.

Prevent being scratched and bitten by cats;

First, cut the cat's nails regularly.

Cutting your cat's nails regularly can not only reduce your chances of being scratched by the cat, but also reduce the number of times that the cat scratches furniture such as sofas and curtains. Now there are nail covers on the internet to prevent being scratched by cats. As long as you put it on, you don't have to worry about being caught. However, this product has been questioned by many cat lovers, because the nail cover needs to stick to the nail, and the nail may not retract after the cat wears the nail cover, and the root of the finger worn by the nail cover is also easy to breed bacteria, which is not conducive to the health of the cat.

Second, master the cat's temper.

Cats have emotions like people. When you tease them when they are unhappy, the chances of being caught and bitten are naturally high. There are some forbidden areas on the cat that can't be touched. If you touch them forcibly, they will be very unhappy. Don't blame the cat for being unkind. In addition, there are not a few cats who don't like to take a bath. Owners should protect themselves when bathing these cats. No one knows what kind of behavior cats will do in an environment surrounded by water.

Third, understand some life habits of cats.

1. Many owners are used to putting their fingers in the cat's mouth to let it bite, but if the cat is in the period of changing teeth, you should be careful, because they don't control the biting strength when changing teeth, and the owner will often be bitten by them.

2. Female cats who have just given birth generally don't like others getting close to their kittens. If they don't listen to the warning of the mother cat, they will be scratched or bitten by themselves, and the owner is no exception. So if you want to see if the kitten is well, you'd better look at the meaning of the mother cat first.
