Every time I've been bitten or clawed by a cat it's been infected. Keep it clean, use antibiotic ointment, and when where are you being clawed gets to the size of baseball glove then go in for IV antibiotics. Bless you for trying. Lesson well learned. Next time wear gloves.

Aye, lesson learned. I already added leather gloves to my list to leave in the truck.

I'd recommend thick welder gloves(work great for cooking and campfires too!) or some steel mesh gloves for your new animal wrangling hobby.😜

And every time I have been bit and clawed, it hasn't gotten infected. Moral is, both are anecdotes.
