Teufel and i were playing last night, now i know why i named him teufel

I went to give him kisses on his belly, he got angry stuck his claws into my head and rabbit kicked me in my mouth!
I have 4 scratches in my mouth, and one looks like it has a deep hole, but the worst part is that it looks like i got a lip inplant on the left side of my mouth and something shoved in my cheek!
It really hurts actually, does anyone know how to get the swelling to go down??

You could try ice, either ice cubes or a lolly.
I am not laughing really

W/ the best cats
Oh dear, I'd put some ice as first aid. Then disinfect the wound and lastly take a painkiller.

Under the cats, mostly.
Be very careful of infection Fran
Use salt water to clean the wound and yes, put some ice on it!
I'm sorry Fran, I AM laughing!!

you all wouldnt be laughing if it happened to you!

The best part though was that his tail went all boofy when he saw blood coming out of my mouth, and he sat there watching me and howling at me when i wouldnt look at him.
he looked so scared after hurting me though

I`m tempted to say "poor kitty" here....but on second thought had better refrain....I`d sure not want you to think I had sympathy for the kitty when i laughed at you! That would`nt be very nice of me, do you think???

Bad bad kitty!!..Reilly has done something like that to me too...the best advice use warm water and salt to clean the cuts..you can even gargle it if he cut you inside your mouth..you sure wouldn't want them to get infected!

So far out in left field I got lost
Awwww that makes me hurt just to think about it
Teufel I am sure didn't mean it but do watch out for infection. Warm salt water or watered-down listerine mouthwash 1/2 & 1/2will help cleanse the wounds inside the mouth. Do use ice to get the swelling down.


Hope you feel better soon

Oouchie indeed! Poor Fran! I'll bet Teufel felt soooo terrible!

Ibuprofen will help the swelling. Like everyone else said, just make sure you keep the wounds clean.

I'm sorry this happened! Makes me cringe just to think of it!

Ouch! Hope it heals soon, or else you won't be able to do much smooching on New Year's Eve!

I have learned "don't put any body part near your cats feet that you can't pull away quickly" Hope you feel better.. I always have a few scrapes on my hands, but I don't kiss my cats except on the head!
