I have minty chewing gum and my cat was acting perfectly calm but then she smelled it on my breath, jumped on me and started sniffing at my face excitedly, then eventually bit my left breast and ran off to attack the rug. Is that normal?
Wash the wound gently with soap and water.
Apply pressure with a clean towel to the injured part to stop the bleeding.
Apply a sterile bandage to the your breast.
Keep the injury elevated above the level of the heart to slow swelling and prevent infection.
Report the incident to the proper authority in your community for example, animal control office or police)
Apply antibiotic ointment to the area 2 times every day until it heals.
Your breast is an important place for your baby later...so take care
A cat bit me! I recommend not trusting cats, even if you know them, even if they sprawl at your feet in the pet-me-please-pet-me posture. They are devious beasts and will lure you into believing that they are not.....take care
You know it's a serious medical problem when a cat bites you. I called and spoke to a nurse and she was all get over to urgent care within 4 hours. I was repeatedly told that a cat bite is "like an injection" and that the germs in the cat's mouth are truly loathsome. A dog's bite isn't at all as bad. And, I note, a dog isn't at all as devious.
I agree with the comments about the lethal germs in cat's mouths. However, unless your kitty broke the skin, I wouldn't worry about it so much. Cats are notorious for what seems to us to be irrational behavior, particularly when they're being playful.
As for the mint, I've heard that catnip is a member of the Mint family Labiatae, which is known for its ability to get some cats high. Maybe your kitty was getting a bit of a rush from your breath. I'd suggest getting him/her a catnip toy or fresh catnip leaves in the future and see what happens.
not really your cat might either have gotten freaked out by the smell because it's unfamiliar or it might be allergic to it or she just doesn't like it too much.
normal? hell, its hilarious, how old is said cat? my kitten is always acting like this, even when unprovoked and i just laugh and wish i could be so cute when destroying valuable items
Cats love different smells, for instance my can always came up to me to see what I was chewing. The minty smell probably made the cat think u had a treat and she/he bit you because u wouldn't share. My kitty did that to me too lol.
