Go to Emergency Room: Asap! i used to be a veterinary assistant. Cat bites often lead to infections. Infections of the had can be very unforgiving. If you haven't had a tetanus shot in the last 10 years or you don't know how long it has been - you will need one. You may need wound debridement and antibiotics. Take this seriously.
