Exceptions to this might be severe flea infestations, or maybe your cat tangled in close proximity to a skunk and nobody wants their pussy smelling like a skunk which also might require a bit more than a little tongue action to eradicate, so maybe a yes on that one, but typically you should just leave that pussy alone.
Isopropyl alcohol, the sooner the better. Cat scatches aren't usually anything to worry about unless you have a weakened immuned system or similar. They can be ugly and if you have enough on your arms people might suspect you of cutting.
The bites that you really need to be concerned with are ones that involve deep puncture wounds. Usually you only get those by attempting to break up a cat fight or by really pissing a/your cat off. They can result in serious bacterial infections that will make you ill in the least or at worse, kill you, and I've gotten sick from it a couple times. The upside I believe is that if you do survive it will strengthen your immune system, you know "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" in some cases, or so they say.
I don't think kittens should really be anything to be worried about though, and yeah you do get used to it and if anyone asks just tell them your cat did it.
It affects rats too, which stops said rat from getting eaten.Actually, it's to the contrary. It makes the rat attracted to the smell of cat's urine so instead of avoiding the predator the rat goes straight into the cat's mouth. This way the parasite finds a new host.
Joking aside, toxoplasmosis is only dangerous to pregnant women and immunocompromised people. It doesn't brainwash them though, just causes flu-like symptoms.
Any cat ladies on here? Every neighborhood has a crazy cat lady. I heard that this actually this is from a parasite that cats carry….let me look it up….called Toxoplasma Gondii. I think cat ladies are cool and satanic as fuck.
Not familiar with the parasite either and I also just looked it up. I don't know about that but my initial thoughts would be OCD, unchecked breeding, or any or some combination of the three.
