well I wouldn't want to rely on it...cat (and dog) bites are full of germs

Not to humans!

Cats mouths are full of bacteria, which is why it's potentially serious if they bite you and make a deep puncture wound!

If my mother ever cut herself she would let the dog run his tongue over her hand where the cut was. She said it was because it made the cut heal quicker. I have to say she was right it did heal quicker.
