I was almost bitten by a cat, is this safe?

Question

Well, earlier I was feeding my cats and I accidentally "kicked" well not really its merely like a push with my foot to one of my cats she is a female just gave birth then almost bit me. There were no contact with my foot and her teeth just one really small saliva drop, I immediately cleaned it with water rubbed some alcohol then soaped it then rubbed more alcohol (like 10). No open wound or anything no wound at all its completely all skin just a little drop of saliva but I cleaned it for about 11 times now, do I have something to worry about?

Update:

haha thanks for all the answers guys, I just got a little paranoid I go paranoid with even such small things xP

Update 2:

It was an honest mistake I was talking with someone then I was about to return their food when I passed my foot tapped her, I'm just too paranoid with things.. :|

It sounds more like you need to worry about being "obsessive / compulsive" concerning cleanliness & germs.  A drooling cat poses no problem to you.......

My cats have bitten and scratched me, at times, all of their lives......and I'm still here!

Please be more careful of her, though.  If she just had a litter of kittens, then she's not in any mood to be pushed around.......

Try to keep peace in your home, and stop worrying about every little drop of saliva.......it won't hurt you!

Good luck........

I'd be worried that your cat almost bit you because you really hurt her when you "pushed her with your foot".

If she has only recently given birth you may have unwittingly, and I use the term advisedly, damaged her. Her belly, uterus and teets will be extremely sore.

As this reaction is not normal for her, I'd be very watchful of her for the next few hours - if she's in any discomfort get her straight to the vet, you don't know what you've done.

You're worried about a little drop of saliva but you're allowing your cat to breed? Tsk tsk.

My kittens bite me all the time when we are playing. Not on purpose just getting really excited. If she didn't puncture any skin I wouldn't worry about it. I think the area is clean enough that nothing should happen. 

I get scratches a lot from my kittens too since they are still learning how to control their claws and they get REALLY excited :D

No, it will be okay.  

Don't kick the cat again.  You got what you deserved.

It's not even an open wound, you have NOTHING to worry about.

I think it is almost certain that you almost got bitten. This is almost very serious and you should go and consult someone who is almost a doctor. Since the cat has just had kittens, it is important that you see a almost lady doctor (or an almost male doctor if you can find one) who is almost pregnant.

Do you have something to worry about? Seriously? Uh huh.  It's called hypochondria.

This is an animal you share your home with, and you are terrified of it drooling on you?  Really?
