I've been bitten by a stray cat!
Advertisements [?]
This cat who lives under and sometimes on my back porch was growling at Leon, who was on the inside of the door. She's done that before and always moved out of the way when I went to open the door. Well, not tonight! She grabbed my leg in her claws and hauled off and bit me. Hard! Drew blood.

I've washed it and sprayed neosporin on it, and called the ER to see if there was anything more I should do. The nurse there said to call my doc in the morning.

I don't think she has rabies, but I'm wondering what my doc will do--blood tests? Surely, not rabies shots. And I suppose I should call animal control. Will they want to catch her and put her down. That would be kind of sad.

And, of course, if people would just SPAY AND NEUTER THEIR DAMN PETS this would not have happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
