Yep, I agree with Mikey. Cat Bites, however bad they are need antibiotics, often 2 different ones. The risks of infection if not are INCREDIBLY high and there is nowhere for this to escape from a puncture wound. As well as this, if it goes straight into the joint or the tendons nearby or even just close to that then it could cause much further problems if left untreated; I know of people who are left with different degrees of finger/ hand problems (one had a problem with her whole arm I think) as a result of purely and simply a cat bite and not seeking help so this needs to be seen right away.
Germolene etc won't help with cat bites as it's not the outside wound that is the problem as this is tiny, it's the bacteria that their teeth literally inject into you that is.
