Clean the bite area well with soap and water. Then, apply an antibacterial ointment (like bacitracin, Neosporin, triple antibiotic ointment, etc.) to the area. If the area does not look better tomorrow, or if pain, swelling, redness worsens or if pus or fever becomes present, then have her seen by her doctor to see if antibiotics are needed. Good luck to both of you!

Many of us physicians take cat bites very seriously because of the various types of bacteria that reside in a cat's mouth. For this reason I am a believer in prescribing appropriate prophylactic antibiotics. Definitely check with your physician and follow his/her instructions.
