My cat scratched my eyelid, it is deep puffy and painful?

Go see a doctor: A cat scratch can cause bad infection. You need to go see a doctor to get evaluated in person and probably need to get treated with a course of antibiotics. The eye/orbit region has many delicate structures. A spreading infection can cause many complications so don't wait!
