Cat bites are bites inflicted upon humans, other cats, and other animals by the domestic cat (Latin: Felis catus).[1][2] Data from the United States show that cat bites represent between 5–15% of all animal bites inflicted to humans,[3][4] but it has been argued that this figure could be the consequence of under-reporting as bites made by cats are considered by some to be unimportant.[5][6] Though uncommon, cat bites can sometimes cause rabies lead to complications and, very rarely, death.[7][8]
