Hey, accidents happen. If you already put a tiny dab of Neosporin on your cat’s scratch, don’t freak out. Wipe it off gently with a damp cloth, and watch for any signs of allergic reaction—like swelling, redness, or your cat acting super weird. If they’re fine after a few hours, you probably dodged a bullet. But if they start drooling or scratching their face, call the vet immediately.
Most of the time, a single, small exposure won’t cause a disaster. Cats are resilient little ninjas, after all. Just don’t make it a habit—like feeding them milk (which is another myth, by the way). Save the Neosporin for your own clumsy moments.
And remember: your cat loves you, even when you make a mistake. They’ll probably forgive you after you offer a squeeze of Churu or a good chin scratch.
