Figure 1. Cat claw-induced punctures: felis punctatis.

Distant (A) and closer (B) view of the upper left abdomen just below the rib cage of a 56-year-old woman shows groups of individual asymptomatic red punctures and a few excoriations (arrows). The cutaneous lesions were caused by her cat (a domestic long-hair breed) piercing her overlying clothing and skin beneath with the tips of its sharp claws while kneading (C).
