Thanks for your reply. :)
I'm not sure from a medical point of view...but as someone with severe health anxiety and two cats I can safely say I haven't had anything kitty related happen yet! I took in a little stray that is sort of scratchy, he lacks manners! I keep on top of my tetanus shot (not so much because that's a cat scratch concern, but because it was necessary to work in an animal shelter) in case of bad bites and wash well with soap and water then cover in betadine (iodine solution) when scratches happen. I've been scratched and bitten by many questionable kitties and I'm ok!
