	Cat-Scratch Disease
		Then, when the cat scratches you, the bacteria on the cat's paws and claws may be passed on to you.

		If you remember that you were bitten or scratched by a cat, your doctor will probably be able to diagnose the illness based on the fact that you were bitten or scratched and then got painful, swollen lymph nodes.
