     Good thing they specified cat bites. If they said cat licks were infectious, there would be millions of people around the world to treat.

     @clacke Well, watch the feral cats anyway. They're not going to come looking to you for cuddles. Cats that do aren't feral.

     The ferals though... they are spicy. I've had to move one, worth breaking out the oven mitts.
