Cat Scratch Disease (aka Cat Scratch Fever) is caused by a bacteria called Bartonella henselae. More than 90% of the people who acquire this dease have been exposed to a cat or kitten prior to infection. Symptoms include: a non-painful blister or bump that appears soon after the cat bite occurs, swollen lymph nodes within 2 weeks post-bite, mild headaches, fever, and/or loss of appetite. It is not fatal, and will most often resolve without any treatment at all.
