You need to take Lioncio into a vet immediately to have this treated. If the bite is pretty deep, I'd be very concerned about infection. Infections frequently occur from bites. This will also be painful him, and you cannot give him any OTC pain medications. Many of them are toxic to cats, and are fatal if given. He should have veterinary care now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
