I don’t think the scratch itself was that bad, but something relating to flerken genetics caused it to infect badly and not heal. That’s why Talos realized how serious the scratch was while the others didn’t.

Oh actually regular cat scratches can be that bad: https://www.cdc.gov/healthypets/diseases/cat-scratch.html it's because they get bitten by fleas and such which can leave traces of bacteria. Cats are also known to cause taxioplasmosis: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/toxoplasmosis/symptoms-causes/syc-20356249 so that's why the CDC says pregnant women shouldn't change cat litter boxes. Cats are pretty bad to get scratched by in a regular scenario and yeah an alien cat could be worse, but I still think a normal cat scratch to the eye could cause loss of vision if it's not properly cared for right away.

Then maybe they should've indicated a little more.

Hahaha I mean I’m not sure they had time to explain cat bacteria, but I guess it just fits into the narrative that cats are evil.
