I'm serious- don't worry so much about that. I have been scratched HUNDREDS of times in my life, and I have never, ever had that. You can keep a squirt bottle of hand sanitizer around just in case and clean the scratch immediately with it. I've honestly never had any problem with cat scratches.
I've never got Cat Scratch (since I've never had a cat), but I have had it with my guinea pigs before. They scratch you by accident since they have charp claws, you get scratch lines that turn a deeper red and last for a few weeks. I don't mind Beckham's scratches, but the fact that he's totally oblivious to me, thus not knowing to try not to scratch, and making me bleed right by my eye is enough for me to keep him out at night until he's old enough to settle down. Also, if I leave him in, he wakes me up at 2am and 5am every night (and it takes him at LEAST 10 times being scooped up and set on the ground to get the picture) which I can't have when I've got to be up before 7 to walk to work everyday.
