Poor Beera! I would take him into a vet today. Cat bites frequently become abscessed. He will need antibiotics to prevent that from occurring. He should also be examined to make sure there isn't any other bites on him, and he hasn't suffered any internal damage. You can train him to come home when he's called. Check out this article on how to do it. I hope this helps! http://www.catbegood.com/cat-behavior/training-outside/
