So I'll save the long story and just say that one should NEVER, EVER try to grab a cat when he's in "fight mode." The swelling and pain has gone down quite a bit over the past couple days and no infections.

However, I got a fair amount of blood on my USAK semi-trad. I'm not sure the best way to get it out, because I don't want to use something that will remove the Teflon coating. The blood actually seems to be "on" the fabric instead of "in" the fabric. Should I just use detergent and water, or can I use some other stain remover (OxyClean, etc.) without destroying the Teflon?

I figured I'd ask here, since Rocky works with Teflon-coated PV all the time, and I figured someone, somewhere, has gotten blood on one of their kilts.

Kitty is fine, but he's grounded for a week.
