Always have betadine on hand. My cat scratched and bit be numerous times, never had an issue, always washed with plenty of soap and water and disinfected the wounds with betadine.
Indoor cats also go crazy. I'm never keeping another cat indoors without free roaming access.
- alan-hn 3y agoI generally oppose declawing cats but it may help in this situation. Free roaming and outdoor cats decimate local bird populations, that's the primary reason I kept my cat totally indoors.
- petre 3y agoWe a have free roaming cat at the office. It doesn't bother with birds or mice, as it has learned to bug humans to feed it and it's quite succesful at it. So there's no need for declawing = amputating its fingers. Very active cats like the common European are not fit as indoor pets and might develop a stress disorder if kept inside at all times.
