I don't believe one in three people needs hospitalization either. But that's not to say cat bites can be nothing short of awful if it's bad enough.
I know of a lady who got bit and ended up in the hospital for three weeks. Her arm all the way up to her shoulder was infected severely from a bite on the hand, AND she wasn't responding to antibiotics, now that's a problem with cat bites. She ended up being ok but she was very ill from it. Cats mouths are chock full of nasty bacteria that can get into your body with puncture wounds. Not something to mess with. And a very good reason not to abuse antibiotics in your life. Lol.
