Armadillo teeth are small and peg-like. They are good for chewing ants, not for biting cats. The claws they use for tearing open logs to get at the ants they eat are more effective weapons against a cat. Most likely, they will stay curled up until the cat loses interest.

No, armadillos rarely bite and can do virtually no damage due to their peg-like molars and no canine or incisors.

Is cat Bite dangerous?

Not unless the dog had rabies or the bite was to a fatal spot, such as the neck. Also be aware that a dog bite to a cat can cause an internal infection. The bite may not fester or abcess on the skin, but the infection could become systemic internally. I know this as my beloved cat died this morning after being diagnosed by a veterinarian that a healed bite punctured her lung and introduced bacteria. If your cat loses weight, is not as playful, and more lethargic following a dog bite--even weeks after the fact, there may be an internal infection that is deadly without early treatment.


Is a cat's bite poison?

No, a cat's bite is not poison. However, if you do receive a cat bite and the teeth have broken the skin, it is usually a good idea to visit your local doctor just to be on the safe side. Usually though, a healthy and fully vaccinated house cat is unlikely to be carrying anything dangerous to a human.
