That's a deep wound. Your cat needs to be taken to the vet right away. If she was attacked by another animal, she needs to be updated on her rabies vaccine, and likely needs a course of antibiotics, which can only come from your vet. That wound may need to be cleaned and explored as well, depending on how it looks on exam.
