In other news, you'll all be glad to know my hand hasn't fallen off, and I'm not dead yet. It's only my right hand anyway - that's the one I can live without!
Quite seriously, if this bite had drawn blood, if Mama Cat's rabies shot was not up to date, or of course if there had been any swelling, if the pain increased instead of steadily decreasing like it's supposed to, or if there had been red lines radiating outward I would've gone straight to the ER. Bites, especially bites from cats, are very serious, and I only was willing to take the chance of washing thoroughly and waiting because she didn't break the skin or draw blood. And even then, I only took the chance because I hate doctors so much. I mean, not doctors, they're fine, I just hate seeing them in a professional capacity. I am aware this is a stupid reason to not see them.
All puncture wounds are a potential risk factor, especially bites or those that occur in a somehow "dirty" environment, for example, if you step on something or if there's a probable chance of dirt or animal feces around.
