You should take him to the vet to have the cut cleaned and to get antibiotics for your cat. Wounds of unknown origin also require a Rabies vaccine booster even if a Rabies vaccine has been given recently. Bite wounds are notoriously filthy and can cause septicemia if not properly. Septicemia is a blood infection. Thanks
