Cat injury

My male outdoor cat has two wounds on the inside of his right back paw. What do I do to help him Max to heal?

You can see if he will stay in your lap if you hold him and soak his wounds in a bowl of warm water.  The issue you want to prevent would be the skin healing over bacteria and the cat getting a bad subcutaneous infection, you want to keep it open so it will drain and heal from the inside out.

At first I use neosporin. They lick it off though. So you need to reapply.
