My friend from work caught a cat behind the store and I took her home. She bit me, hard, on the finger. It drew blood. I was petting her head through the cage. I'm pretty sure she bit me cause she was scared. Now it's kinda swollen and throbbing. I don't believe it had rabies, but do you think I should go to a doctor anyways or just pour some more peroxide and bandage it and call it a day? Oh, the cat ran away. lol Post edited at 3:29 pm on Nov. 4, 2009 by Clara Bell

Try the peroxide for now. If it is very swollen n the morning it is time to go to the doctor.

I'd go to the doctor, Before you end up biting your mother.

Go to the ER for some IV antibiotics. Cat bites can really fuck you up. The infection spreads fast and is usually aggressive.

I think you should really go and get it checked out just in case. Because even if the cat didn't show symptoms of having rabies, it could have been in it's early stages...which means you could possibly have it now. Get yourself checked before it's too late. 
You cant "get checked" for rabies, you can get a preventative vaccine though. If the cat is rabid, it will die within the next 10 days.
