My cat's paw is bleeding. What should I do before her vet visit?

Question

Hi today I woke up seeing my cat’s right paw bleeding. I really don’t know why maybe it’s because of a torn nail or something Also it’s hard for me to check it out as she really won’t let me. I am gonna take her to the vet tomorrow but is there anything I can do now?she seems fine and not in pain she just tries to lick it. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | 2 years and 6 months old

Poor Kitty. Try to apply gentle pressure to stop the bleeding. Put an Ecollar on her to keep her from licking it, as that can make it worse. You can make one at home or buy one at a pet store. Having her seen by a vet tomorrow is a good idea.
