If the bleeding is not stopping you will need to take your cat to a Pet ER to have the bleeding stopped , the wounds glued and possibly the paw bandaged. Your cat will need pain medicine and antibiotics to keep the wounds from getting infected. Are you really in the UK? If so you need to take your cat to an out of hours vet or emergency service,
