My cat has a deep thigh scratch. What to do until vets open?

Question

my cat has been complaining about his foot since monday but i looked and saw nothing and by Wednesday he was complaining less. i was thinking of giving it a couple day before taking him to see a vet. today while he was sitting i noticed that he has a deep scratch on the inside of this thigh. it seems like it doesn't hurt anymore but i am worried. what can i do until vets are open on monday?

If his symptoms have not gotten worse, you don't have to do anything special about it until Simba sees a vet, it doesn't seem to be urgent and anyhow he will probably need an antibiotic course and pain killers which can only be prescribe by your vet.
