I call it 'getting goosie.' LOL They are like small children and forget just how rough they can be when playing. If the person playing with them gets overly aggressive and too rough with the cat the cat may become frightened and give a quick scratch to warn you.

Why do dogs kick their legs when you scratch them?

It could be their way of letting the owner or friendly human know that it feels good that or they believe that they are scratching themselves and mimic the movement.


What traits do cats have?

Traits, as in personality and character traits?Everyone thinks cats are lazy, but the truth is, they're very active and love to be near their owners. They love people who care for them and treat them nicely and they will gladly return the affection! Cats are very nice too, but not all of them like to be held all the time! They can also be very independent at times, especially if you always leave them by themselves.People also think cats always bite and scratch you. Truth is, they will bite or scratch you if you annoy them a lot or if they want to defend themselves because you are being rough on them. They will also do that if they think you are playing with them!Cats love people who will always be there for them to love them, take care of them, keep them company and play with them. And from experience, they will return everything in favour!


What treatment is best for a cat scratch?

Cat Scratch Fever is easy-going infection and usually gets better by itself over several months without any specific treatment. This infection can be more serious with people who have poor immune systems, and antibiotics are used for such patients. If your child have Cat Scratch Fever you should not isolated him from other family members because Cat Scratch Fever is not contagious. Your child cannot give the disease to anyone else. After having cat scratch disease once, your child is very unlikely to ever get it again. You may take care of your child at home; you can apply a heating pad or hot water bottle to the swollen glands, giving some pain killer for pain, body aches or fever over 101F. It is not necessary that your child remains at bed, but it may help if your child tires easily. If your child feels like playing, encourage quiet play while being careful to avoid injuring swollen lymph nodes. Antibiotics are used to treat the unusual forms of cat scratch disease or if your child have poor immune systems. If your child's doctor has prescribed antibiotics, give medication to your child on schedule for as many days as your child's doctor has advised. Within 2 to 4 months, swollen lymph nodes generally collapse. In a very few cases, a swollen lymph node becomes so large and hurting that physician may advise its amputation. This is generally done in a very easy surgical method with a small incision.


What infections can you get from a cat scratching you?

If a cat scratches you, and you do not tend to the scratch, it will very likely become infected. Cat scratches can become very seriously infected almost overnight. When a cat scratches you, immediately wash the scratch with soap and antiseptic, and coat with a liberal dose of antibiotic cream such as Neosporin. Depending on the depth and severity of the scratch, you may need to head to the Dr for an antibiotic shot. Should you decide to self treat, watch closely for signs of infection. At the first sign of redness spreading out from the scratch, go to the ER. I know three people who were badly scratched by cats and who did not seek treatment. All three wound up in the ER several days later with raging infections. Each one of the cats was a pet, so it wasn't like some dirty clawed feral did the deed. Always take cat scratches seriously!
