an injection is needed. It's inevitable that you get hurt when you accidentally get caught playing with a cat. If you get caught and bleed, the wound will have touched the dermis by this time, so the situation is still serious. For the sake of safety, the doctor still suggests to have a shot. The shot is mainly in two aspects: one is tetanus shot and the other is rabies vaccine. Tetanus injection is mainly because cats' paws often scratch around, fearing that they will be infected with bacteria and thus infect people, so they should take tetanus injection at this time; Rabies vaccine is mainly to prevent the rabies virus that cats may carry from being transmitted to people after biting, so it is recommended to take an injection. When playing with cats at ordinary times, you should also pay attention to protect yourself and try to reduce being scratched.
