Cat wound care depends on the injury type. For a skin scrape, first put on an Elizabethan collar, disinfect the wound with iodine or alcohol, then spray an anti-inflammatory spray; daily care heals it quickly. For deep wounds, see a vet to decide on cleaning and stitches.
For exposed fractures or ligament injuries, take X-rays to assess severity, then use surgery or conservative care, and limit movement during recovery to avoid worsening.
