take Tab Augmentin 625mg three times a day for 5 days and regularly clean the wound.

General Practitioner in Islamabad - Dr. Ayesha Hayat

can you please tell of your cat is vaccinated?or If it was a stray cat because if the cat is vaccinated then with tetanus she is fine. keep a good control of BSR, clean the wound daily with pyodine and alcohol swab and keep it dry. she can take painkiller if needed.

General Practitioner in Islamabad - Dr. Ayesha Hayat

she is completely vaccinated then rabies will not likely b needed and with tetanus and wound care she must be fine.
but do check if the cat recently went out of your house and came in contact with any stray cat
