Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Ernie. I would advise taking Ernie to your veterinarian. Cat bites can be serious, leading to infection and cellulitis. Ernie probably needs some antibiotics, topical treatment, pain meds, and maybe an Elizabethan collar to prevent licking. Good luck
