Fuming. The urgent care nurse said the form was just for their files, no problems. So I wrote down what happened: my shyest cat panicked at being picked up to be crated and bit my finger. She is normally sweet, but hates being picked up. I was hurriedly crating all my cats to get them out of house so exterminator could come in. It was just too much sensory overload for my shy girl. (She stayed in house, hiding in cabinet during exterminator visit - seems no worse for wear).
So, knowing cat bites get infected, went to urgent care, got a couple antibiotics. All well, bite wound healing fine.
Then a minute ago I get a phone call. The County Health Dept. My cat is “quarantined” 11 days. (Fine, she never leaves house anyway). After that, a Health Dept inspector will come out to “observe” her. :mad:
THIS I have a problem with. Feels like my privacy is being invaded. I don’t trust government inspectors one bit. In my experience they use any chance to “visit” to find something to cause trouble or expense to a home owner.
Feeling stupidly trusting and naive. Sharing so maybe someone else can learn from my stupid mistake.
Next time: “strange cat walked up to me while I was strolling down the road, I pet it and it bit me. don’t know whose it is, it ran off into the 5,000 acre woods.” Happy wild goose chase, azzholes. One of those cases where one is punished for honesty.
