I got bitten by a cat last night.
My son thought it would be fun to bring his cat to my house so I could se the cute ickle kittums. Unfortunately the cat smelled the other cats in my house and threw a wobble, so we tried to put him back into the carrier to take him back. As we did so he latched onto my right hand with a bite that (I think) nicked the tendon on the ring finger of that hand.

We washed it out with hydrogen peroxide and I put neosporin ointment on it, but it's swollen to a strut this morning and I can barely move that finger.

And I have no health insurance, am broke and can't afford a doctor.

Do something about it NOW
My sisters cat bit my dad and he was on antibiotic injections for a week and it once bit her so badly she was in hospital for 10 days. She had iv antibiotics but they couldn't get them into her fast enough so it was connected to a pump that forced them into her bloodstream extra fast.

Cat bites can be really bad, especially when they're deep.
