Is this tick on my cat harmful? please help!?

Question

I just found a tick on my cat. and i read up on it and learned not to pull it off. but i see that there is a tiny cut on my cat where the tick is. I think that the tick made the cut.. but if i put vasoline on it to deprive it of alcohol will it irritate my cats open wound?
