I cannot see a wound on the photos of your cat, so I cannot tell you if Bactroban is the proper antibiotic to use for the type of wound your cat may have. Generally Bactroban (Mupirocin) is safe for use in cats. It may be a good idea to have your cat seen by your vet before applying ointment to the wound.
