Pregnancy, stray cat, and now a rash?

Question

I found a cat about a week ago and have been letting it live in my garage until I can find a home for it. I've played with it a couple of times, but I wash my hands after I do. He has his front claws and has accidently scratched me a couple of times. Now I have a rash on my hands. Can you get another disease from a cat besides toxoplasmosis?

Answer 1

You don't know where that cat has been so you can't know if it's diseased or something and by scratching you it might transmit whatever germs it's got. I suggest you go to the doctor and get checked out...
