Don't put anything on it, your cat will only lick it off. Don't worry, just let it heal on its own. Your cat's saliva will help heal the wound.

Ask this in the pets section. my dogs used to get irritated with sand in between there paws after a walk so we used to get a warm bowl of water and dip hes paws in, i doubt your cat will be so up for that, but other than a vet, the pets section is the best to ask.

You can put some peroxide on it to kill the infection after you clean it with hot soapy water... and then after all that i would try neosporin and wrap it so the cat can not get anything on it or dig at it... i know a lady that has like ten cats... tat is what she does when hers get hurt like that and it works very effectivley

cats will bite and scratch in pain. . have someone help because it will get violent because like babies they think you caused the pain. have the cat wrapped in a thick towel and wash his paws inantibacterial dish soap and rinse well. put triple antibiotic cream and if it doesnt heal see a vet

I think that you should take your cat to the vets if the cut is serious, or you could just try to keep it clean as much as possible. (try to keep him out of the dirt etc) Good luck

About all you can do is put a mixture of fifty percent peroxide and fifty percent water on it, if you put antibiotic cream on it the cat will just lick it off. Clean it several times a day with the water peroxide mixture.

Wash with a damp piece of lint and check that the wound isn't infected, the animal should have done its natural thing of cleaning the wound itself but in case theirs any debris still in, it may pay you to go to a vet.
If it isn't treated and becomes infected, your pet could die from blood poisoning from the infection.

Just clean it with mild salted water to help fight infection but if you notice it getting worse take your cat to a vet. They dig dirt to cover their toilet so it could easily become infected.
