Hey Nina,
The last feral I brought in. Calico, female, Mama Kitty, not positive anything............ Anyway, if I pet her too much, and sometimes when I pick her up........ she will bite me. She loves to snuggle and have me pet her, BUT sometimes she just kind of freaks out. I have to remember she's not totally a lapcat yet.

I hope you know to run that hand under warm water until it stops bleeding. Yes. That's usually a long time if it's a deep puncture. But do it. If it's already dry, I would soak it well. Soak it at least 30 minutes or so till your fingers get wrinkled from too much soaking. Then soak it in peroxide for a good 10 minutes and then dry it and put some neosporin on it.

Don't laugh. It worked for me. And I had a BAD bite. My hand swelled up twice its normal size almost immediately after
the bite. If you run it under water until it stops bleeding you flush out the bacteria. I didn't know that at the time or could have saved myself a lot of pain. Just put a bowl of water by your computer and S-o-a-k!
