Claws or teeth can break the skin. Most cat scratches heal without help, yet infection is possible, and in Turkey animal wounds carry a small risk of rabies.

- Swollen glands near the scratch after a few days
- Swelling and redness around the scratch
- Red scratch marks on the skin
Common Triggers
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.
