Answer 1

a ghost punched you, put ice under it

Answer 2

Sounds like an allergic reaction, take benadryl.
You may have developed an allergy to the kitty litter, even if it's the same you have always used, try a new litter. Even if you wash your hands before touching your face, could be dust from the litter as you pour it out.
Could be the juice also.
I have new allergies all along with things I have used all my life.
I would suggest that you take the benadryl, change brand of kitty litter, and leave off the juice until you know for sure.

Answer 3

you want to take some benadryl aka diphenhydramine to scale back the swelling. You look allergic to at least some thing in or close to the muddle container no matter if this is the some thing interior the muddle i'm not confident. it will be minute dust debris that fly up once you position new muddle interior the container. once you've by no skill been examined for hypersensitive reactions i ought to guage getting examined and be confident you virtually continuously save an antihistamine like Bendadryl interior the residing house.

If not, it could be an allergic reaction to something in the dust from the litter box, or perhaps some acid in the Urine. If so, I recommend a pair of Goggles when cleaning the litter box to keep the dust and bacteria out.

Answer 5

You probably had a fruit in your juice that you are allergic to, and maybe did not know it or you are allergic to the litter in the litter box. MIght even be something your cat ate. Try www.webmd.com to see if it has any info on it.

Answer 6

See a doctor you can get a Toxoplasmosis from cat little (if the cat carries the disease) and you might go blind or worse.

Famous people with toxoplasmosis

* Martina Navratilova retired from a competition in 1982 with mystery 'virus' later found to be due to the illness
* Arthur Ashe developed neurological problems from toxoplasmosis (later found to be HIV-positive)
* Miriam Pires (Brazilian actress) died of toxoplasmosis at the age of 77
* Leslie Ash contracted toxoplasmosis in the second month of pregnancy
* François, comte de Clermont, is Dauphin of France, son and heir of the current pretender to the French Throne. Both he and his younger sister Blanche are mentally handicapped due to toxoplasmosis-related ailments.
* Louis Wain was a prominent cat artist who later developed schizophrenia which some believe to be due to his constant exposure to cats and thus Toxoplasmosis.
