Unfortunately your picture of Spec's wound is a little blurry, but it looks bigger than a simple scratch to me. It also looks quite red, and it appears that there may be some discharge coming from it. If this wound is on his surgical incision, I would be concerned especially if he was bitten. Cat bites typically become infected and abscess. Gently clean the area with warm water and antiseptic soap, and I would have this wound examined and treated by a vet today. Best of luck!

It certainly doesn't sound like Cookie's incision is normal if the entire area is red and looks like it's bleeding. I would have him seen by a vet right away for this, as I think it's important to have him examined to make sure everything is ok since I can't see him myself. I would not wash the area until Cookie is seen by a vet for a check, and they can let you know if it's safe to wash him or not.
