Although cats are not poisonous, a cats mouth can contain Staff or the Pasteurella multocida bacteria and can be very infectious. Rabies should also be a concern if bitten by a stray or unvaccinated cat. Be sure to disinfect well if bitten and seek medical care as a tetanus shot and antibiotics may be in order. This article discusses this in a bit more detail and gives some good suggestions on what to do if bitten.
AnswerIn addition, a bite from a cat may result in an infection which may be collected within lymph nodes. Although antibiotics should effectively treat the infection, surgery may be required if the antibiotics are ineffective.
Naomi babcock says :
In fact, cat bites ARE poisonous, yes. Let me clarify. Cats have a low-grade toxin in their saliva, and in turn, on their teeth. this toxin is relatively weak, and only tends to bother cats prey (small creatures), to humans it's really nothing to worry about. Just because kitty bites a mouse and the thing dies doesn't mean you will, there's two things at work here. The toxin, and the SEVERE puncture of the fangs in comparison to the mouse's body size. Picture shoving a fence post through your chest and pulling it back out. Same difference.
