Your cat is a sadistic asshole.

Why were you going for burn cream right off the bat? Cool (not cold, just below room temp) running water is the first step, at least last time I was given the first aid run-down. Then, fyi, lavender oil is supposed to be incredible for treating burns. (Also antiseptic iirc) I'd combine with aloe so you get a gel.

Hope you were able to get to a doctor, or at least get your hands on something anti-bacterial. Burnt skin is highly susceptible to infection, and cat scratches can sometimes get septic.

ouch, better keep watching it, you can get some nasty infections from that. I hope it will get better soon.

He was just trying to guide your hand to the cream.

More evidence that cats are assholes.

If you burn your hand in the kitchen (that's where it usually happens), stock the cream in the kitchen. If it's somewhere else, immediately take something frozen or put ice cubs and salt in cold water and put your hand in it. I once got burns that created blisters that had to be popped by needles. Next time my hand burnt, I immediately put some peas on it and did the water thing, didn't get blisters!

I f*cking hate cats

This made me cringe so hard.

Just tryin' to help. -Mittens
