Opthamologist ASAP: You're at risk for infection. You need to start antibiotics asap. You can be seen by your primary or urgent care if u can't get into opthamology right away. You're cornea needs to be examined. You undoubtly have a corneal laceration or abrasion.

Exam. Antibiotics.: I agree with these measures. Presence of blood indicates that conjunctiva is lacerated. Corneal injures themselves may not bleed but are susceptible to infection. The consequences of an ocular injury from a cat scratch can even be systemic. Regardless, prompt treatment with prophylactic antibiotics could prevent endophthalmitis and other infection. See a doctor.
