Educational information, not veterinary or human medical advice. Stop contact and allow escape. New or persistent biting needs veterinary advice. A human bite wound needs its own medical care; serious injury or uncontrolled bleeding needs emergency care. Never wait for this form or an app reply.
Make a before-contact-after map
Temporary preparation after immediate safety and care. Do not recreate contact. Entries are not saved or sent; reload clears them.
Begin after safety and care
This map is optional preparation for a later conversation. It must not delay human wound care or veterinary advice. Use only an event you already witnessed; no field requires touching the cat, filming it or collecting another example.
Keep the parts separate
Record the setting, the contact or activity, what you directly saw and what happened afterward. If you did not see a detail, say unknown. A person approaching is an observation; the cat felt betrayed is an interpretation this worksheet cannot verify.
A fictional example with an honest gap
Example only: I was sitting beside the cat, reached toward its shoulder and felt teeth touch my hand; I did not see its ears. This is a wording example, not a patient record or a claim that a shoulder touch causes biting.
Temporary display only
Your words are displayed in page memory. They are not saved, transmitted, assessed or inserted in analytics. Reload clears them. Use your own records if needed; the output does not tell you when handling can safely resume.
