Hi! My 2 yr old cat has a tiny wound on his ear, looks like a paper cut, not bleeding. I think it was an accidental nip during a play fight with his new brother. Is there something I should put on this so that it doesn't get infected?

I would leave it. Cats heal better and faster than us. If its not open, just wash it with saline solution and leave it.

I'd probably put a very thin layer of Neosporin (non medicated) just to be safe. Very thin because cats will groom and you don't want them licking a ton of medicine up.
