Understanding Cat Scratch
A cat scratch is a break in the skin from a cat’s claws or teeth. Most heal alone, but they can become infected, and animal bites or scratches also carry a small rabies risk in Turkey.
Why Cat Scratch Happens
A stray or pet cat’s claws or teeth are responsible; bacteria enter the skin and cats can pass on an infection known as cat scratch disease.
