First, you need to flush out those possible bacteria with water to the wounds. Next, wash wounds with mild soap and rinse with warm water. Slow the bleeding with a clean cloth, apply antibiotic cream and wrap the wound in a sterile bandage.

Well, it depends, if it just bites you and leaves no marks or blood you can simply shrug it off. cats love to bite or scratch while they play. However, if the bite pierces the skin then immediate clean and disinfect the wound. Cat saliva contains dangerous germs that can be lethal to humans if it gets into the bloodstream.

If you are bitten or scratched by a cat, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Depending on the severity of the wound, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection, a tetanus shot, and/or a rabies shot if the cat is not up to date on its vaccinations.

Wash the wound with soap and water under pressure from a faucet for at least 5 minutes. Don't scrub as this may bruise the tissue. Apply an antiseptic lotion or cream. Watch for signs of infection.

If bitten by a cat, it's important to clean the wound with soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and seek medical attention promptly. Treatment may involve antibiotics to prevent infection, a tetanus shot if needed, and possibly rabies prophylaxis depending on the circumstances. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
