I found a "house cat" living under my house. After a week I decided to go get him and found that he was pretty tame. I brought him into the house to put him in a cage until I could call the Cat Rescue on Monday morning. As I carried him to the cage I was going to hold him in, my cat saw him and began to hiss. The cat I had in my hands freaked out and one of his claws caught the knuckle on my left hand. The puncture wound wasn't that bad when it happened, but was a bit deep and I had cleaned the wound out right away. Ten hours later my pointer finger and middle finger are in horrible pain, especially when I try to bend them. Also, to the left of the puncture wound I have developed this red swollen area that wasn't there earlier in the day. Now I have been scratched by my cat several times and this has never happened. I am not sure if I should go to the ER or if this is normal...
