Sorry, this is not cat health but mine. Wasn't sure where to really post but was hoping someone has some info.
Last night a cat showed up at my house. Somehow they always find us! After it looked in my patio door the second time I went out to check on it. Of course, I can't leave a stray alone. He/she ran off but when I called he came back, meowed & walked up to me. I reached out to pet him & he let me touch him but then scratched my arm. He ran off after that so I went inside & washed the area with soap & peroxide. It's just a normal cat scratch, well actually several. I have never seen the cat before & it was dark so I really couldn't tell much about him other than the color. Should I be concerned? I don't want to call animal control or anything like that. Hopefully he belongs to someone & was just stopping by. I was hoping some of you that work with resuces/ferals had some info for me. I hate that I let him scratch me but I must admit I'm a little concerned.
