Cat bites may range from tiny puncture wounds to lacerations. The muscle underneath a puncture wound may be lacerated due to the action of the teeth in immobile muscle (relative to the skin). Many wounds cannot be detected with the naked eye and the need for antibiotics may not be recognised in cases where there is no evidence of a puncture wound or scratch. Septicaemia is a common sequel to a cat bite, while other routes of infection have also been suggested. Birds may ingest organisms from cat saliva-coated feathers during preening leading to gastrointestinal disease and septicaemia.

Cats carry Pasteurella multocida on their gingival tissue and teeth and antibiotics are therefore always indicated in any bird attacked by a cat.

This adult male blackbird (Turdus merula) had a bite wound to his left chest. The exposed muscle is dark, dessicated and necrotic.

Following surgical dissection and debridement of the wound, healthy muscle is visible

The wounds, including a puncture wound over the lower back, were packed with a hydrogel and dressed with a thin hydrocolloid dressing

A delayed (2 day) closure was performed on the wound. The superficial pectoral muscle was stitched and the skin closed. An aluminium wound dressing was applied over the surgical wound, which is shown healing 12 days later

Id rather be attacked by a dog than a cat. They catch you with their nails and they can rip you to shreds, plus it ALWAYS gets infected, they are like komodo dragons
