    Hydroperoxide actually worsens the healing process of cuts. Use plain water & soap, and some rubbing alcohol of you feel you need it.

    Ha I’ve never actually looked into it, thanks. Never used H2O2 growing up but my partner did from my father in law.

    Yeah nah if I'm ever bit by a cat (so that it draws blood, not just friendly nibbles) it's straight to the hospital. Not fucking around with that shit.

    If it's your own cat and you do regular vet visits, it's fine as long as you clean the cuts properly.

    Not sure what use vet visits are here? Why would I risk anything if my hand has been bit deep enough to draw blood, even if it's my own cat?

    Main threat is rabies, which your pet should not have. Unless you need stitches, a good rinse with something sterile and a bandage are all you need. That's all a hospital is going to give you. Maybe some antibiotics if it didn't get cleaned quickly enough.

    I have never been scratched by a cat where blood was drawn. I can't remember even less than that.

    Other than this trailer park, I went in, lady says don't worry about the dog, watch the cat. I was like yeah ha ha. Cat fucking ninja jumped me from on high somewhere, was trying to scratch me, just got my clothes.
