Boone may have had a little tiff with another cat, however this just looks like a small scrape, if any and I would not worry too much. Observe it for a few days for swelling, pain or discharge, and if there is any of those signs, take him to a vet who will then lance the abscess, if necessary. But,at this time, it does not look like there will be an abscess.
