I got scratched on my arm by a cat of mine how long would it take to heal?

Same as any other: scratch as long it isn't infected! Remember that Cat scratches can transmit a virus ("Cat Scratch fever) with an enlarged lymph node in the armpit) These needs treatment with antibiotics! Hope this helps! Dr Z
