I got bitten by my 5 week old kitten maybe 6 and I got bit around 3 times, the first one a got bit when they were about 4 weeks old and I wasn't sure if it was bleeding or had open skin, then 1 week later I was playing with one with my finger then it hoped out of the bed and bit me (I think), then the next time I put a glove on (ruber ones) so I won't get bit but then a tiny spot hurted and it a two dirty holes, I ran in and washed my hands but I had a band aid on because I have a cut right next to the bit, the bit was in the band aid but in the edge, and I checked on my cut but there was blood where the bite was and I guessed it was the bite but my first bite's first 10 days are ending tomorrow and some people said it is most certain to you know ''sleep'' in 10 days or so and I'm just wondering if I'm going to ''sleep''

What are you asking? I have no idea what "if you're gonna sleep" means.

I'm having a really hard time understanding what you're asking, what is your first language? Maybe we can find someone to translate if you write in the language you're most comfortable with.

From what you wrote it sounds like you were bitten by your kitten. That happens. Kittens bite.

I don't know why you can't sleep because of it, or did I misunderstand that part?

I mean as in die

Like I got bit by my kitten, first time I wasn't sure if I had open skin(10th day is tomorrow), second I got two dots out of nowhere and it looks like a bit, it hurts sometimes and once it was bleeding, and third time it jumped out of the bed and bit me I think, am I going to die

You're not going to die unless this kitten has rabies. Even then, if the kitten had rabies, there are shots available.

Bites hurt. They bleed. If this kitten has been indoors all its life, with it's mother, until you got it, then there's no reason to think that you'd die from a kitten bite.

Kittens bite. That's what they do.

Why did you get a kitten when it's obvious you don't know anything about them?

When a kitten bites or scratches you say NO sharply and put it on the floor. You do this as many times as it takes, usually not more than a few days if you are attentive about it.

You don't hit it.

Do you have the kitten's mother too? If not, where is she? Kittens must be with their mothers until at least 8-9 weeks of age.

Where are you and how old are you?

Ok, I tried to answer your other questions, I had some questions for you but I just got one of them answered.
Your kitten is 5 weeks old, too young for a rabies vaccine yet.
Do you have the mother and is she vaccinated?
I don't think you have any cause for concern here given the age of the kitten.
Rabies tends to progress pretty quickly in cats so if your kitten were infected then you would see signs of the disease by now or even death.
What I would worry about is the bacteria left under your skin, make sure you keep it clean with a good anti-bacterial soap.
It wouldn't hurt to call your local vet and ask about the quarantine laws in your county.
In the states rabies vaccine is REQUIRED and mandated by laws for good reason.
If you get bitten again and have to seek medical help the laws may require you to quarantine the cat that bit you.
It varies by state and county.
And I would quit doing whatever it is your doing when you play with your kittens so that they don't bite you.
Quarantine is at the owners expense and if required may cost your parents a pretty penny.
And urge your parents to have everyone vaccinated when they come of age and mom too, if she isn't already.

Yes how old? I'm curious too

I am also curious as to the age of the OP. I'd also like to know where his/her parents are, and why they have a kitten this young.

Who is caring for this kitten, and the child/OP for that matter?

My 6 week old kitten bit me and I'm not sure if I'm going to have rabies, it has been with its mother ever since but she has not been vaccinated yet, they have not gone outside, they never ate cat food yet, and all the mammals it has been in contact with is with their mother and humans.

No, it cannot.

I merged your threads. Please, only start one thread for the same topic. It helps keep all the information in one spot, which makes it easy for people to respond.


No, you won't get rabies. Kittens that age are teething. They bite and chew, just like a teething human baby does. They don't know, yet, how to not hurt people.

A firm 'NO' or 'OUCH' when it bites and stopping whatever playing you were doing, will help. When my cats were kittens, I would hold one finger on their nose when I said it. Don't smack or tap, just put your finger on their nose and hold it there. Animals tend to learn better if there's an action that goes with the word.

The same will work for when they start to learn to use their claws. They will accidentally scratch, before learning how to control their claws. Use the same word, 'NO' or 'OUCH,' but instead of touching their nose, hold their paw. Just hold it lightly in your hand, just barely tight enough so they can't pull away, while you say it.


There's a thread on here that I think you should read. It has tips for living with cats.

What is the link between rabies and cat food?

If you've had the mother for a long time, and you haven't noticed any signs of rabies, then it's very unlikely that she has rabies, even though she's not vaccinated.

Why did you allow this cat to have kittens when it's obvious that you know nothing about cats at all?

Let's go back to: (a) where are you; (b) how old are you; and (c) where are your parents?

Once I thought that I got bit by my kitten and I searched up for the symptoms then I showed my mom but she didn't find any open spot and I was getting the symptoms that I read, I told my mom and she just said I'm crazy, is it true?

Is what true? That you are imagining getting bitten? Or that you think you have the symptoms of radiation exposure over getting bitten by a cat that never broke the skin?
