My cat has a small scissor cut. What should I do if I can't afford a vet?

Question

I cut my cat with scissors I feel terrible ! I don't know what I should do! I don't really have the money to take her to the vet, it's kinda deep but it tiny

It will heal fine. Trim the fur so the air can get to the skin and then clean the area with hydrogen peroxide to prevent infection. Luckily cats heal skin wounds quickly if they stay open to prevent infection under the skin.
