Some of you may remember this thread from two years ago. Well, he got me again. This time he got my finger on the other hand. I was getting knots out of his fur when he clamped down on the finger (the one you use to tell people they're number one laugh out loud) and when he tried to release and turned his head to jump down, his teeth were stuck in my finger, he couldn't let go. But since he turned his head, he wound up tearing the puncture wounds open even more. Sick

The top joint of my finger is red and swollen. However, I don't see how it could be infected this time, as by tearing the flesh sideways, he made the puncture wounds larger and they bled profusely for about 10 minutes. I applied tons of Bactine spray and then Neosporin to it as well. This happened about six hours ago and so far, the swelling and redness is limited to that top finger joint. So should I go to the after hours clinic or do you think it will be ok?

I asked the vet about that. She's concerned that he might get nicked when I try to shave or cut the tangles out. Yeah, heaven forbid the cat gets an infection! Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)
One of those battery operated mustache trimmers with a built-in guide should minimize the risk of furnace kitteh getting nicked. Whether or not one would minimize your risk... Dontknow

laugh out loud This is the IM conversation I just had with DH...

DH: I told you in the ER on Saturday, don't know if you remember but my cousin is getting married on the 9th July. I didn't know the day until her sister commented on Facebook.

Me: Don't remember you telling me that.

DH: It was after he injected your hand. I didn't think you were listening to me and I thought I'd tell you again later but forgot.

Me: Facepalm
Ummm yeah, at the time I was high as a kite on Vicodin and focused on the fact that the doctor had just stuck a needle repeatedly into my knuckles to try and deaden my finger so he could slice it open with a scalpel. So your cousins wedding plans were not high on my radar at the time. laugh out loud
