My cat has a minor nose cut from a plant. Should I see a vet?

Question

Hi! My little man has a cut on his nose. I woke up to a plant that had fallen over last night when he was in the area. He’s acting fine all day, energy, food, breathing, swallowing are all okay. Is this something that I need to go to the vet for? He hasn’t eaten or nibbled any of the plant (habanero plant with no peppers). When I touched around it he didn’t wince or meow. Seems all normal but this little ouchie. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 2 years old | 10 lbs

Ouch, poor Mowgli! I would gently clean that with warm water and antiseptic soap. Keep the are clean and dry, and if you see any signs of infection, then you will have to take him into the vet. I hope this helps.
