Best Answer

Any kind of infection you could get from any other kind of scratch.

Cat scratches are particularly likely to cause (duh!) "cat scratch disease". It's caused by bacteria in the genus Bartonella and is usually fairly benign, clearing up in a couple of weeks with no treatment needed.

Can you catch an eye infection through your cat?

We got a kitten who was a barn kitten and he developed a cold and eye infection very quickly. Then I as well as my two kids developed an eye infection. The cat has been on three rounds of creme the eyes clear up and then as soon as I stop the eye treatment it comes back. Same with us! The infection we have is different from anything I have ever experiences - the ye looks a little pink or cloudy but nothing very obvious but they itch and sting a lot and are irritated - it comes and goes. Now we all have this cycle going on and I can't seem to cure anyone!!! I am positive this came from the cat to us.
