description Cat bites represent between 5-15% of all animal bites and are sometimes encountered by primary care and emergency department physicians.

We present the case of a 75-year-old male who developed deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in his left leg where he had been bitten by a cat four days prior. Although it is not possible to describe a causal relationship, we discuss whether these events are related.
