Hello there! It’s good to hear you're taking an active role in your cat's health and care. When it comes to using adhesive bandages on your kitty, it's generally not the best approach. Cats have sensitive skin and fur, and sticking a bandage directly on can lead to irritation and discomfort. Plus, when you remove the bandage, it might pull on their fur, which isn’t pleasant for them.
If your cat has a minor cut or abrasion, it’s usually best to keep the area clean and let it heal naturally. You can gently clean it with saline solution or warm water. Make sure your cat doesn’t constantly lick or scratch it; monitoring this is key in supporting healing.
It’s important to watch for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or discharge. If you see any of these, or if your cat seems to be in pain—meowing or scratching at the area—you should take action.
It might be a good idea to book a video consult with us here at Dial A Vet. We can help assess your cat's situation more thoroughly and offer guidance on the best next steps. We're here whenever you need us to ensure your furry friend stays happy and healthy!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
