See a doctor: If it was a cat bite, these can get a serious infection quickly. You should see a doctor quickly. If it was a scratch, it is less prone to infection, but it is still possible. Clean the area well with soap and water. If you have persistent redness, red streaks up your arm, or increasing pain, seek medical care quickly.

Cat bite: If not red or infected just keep it clean. If it is getting red or swollen, get to a doctor.
