Because of the multitude of bacteria in a cats mouth, most puncture wounds will require a course of oral or intravenous antibiotics. Many bitten will need a tetanus shot as well. So yes it is definitely possible.

Yes, any time there is a break in the skin one is subject to a staph infection. Staph lives on the skin in all individuals it becomes problematic when it invades the tissue causing an infection in the open sore or in this case scratch. A staph infection is not to be confused with cat scratch disease. Cat scratch disease is caused by an entirely different bacteria. Most staph infections can be easily taken care of by completing a round of antibiotics. MRSA however is a difficult to treat type of staph infection. Anytime you have a sore that festers, oozes, becomes red, warm, or tender it is wise to seek a physician for treatment.
