Clean! Disinfect! Watch for signs of infection!
Bro chill
A buddy of mine recently got blood poisoning from a cat bite on their hand, it's rare but it does happen.
Personally I don't worry when my car scratches me, but I still wash it and watch to make sure.
Iirc, you don't have to worry about a cat scratch (beyond the normal) but if they bite you, you need to go to the hospital and get checked out.
