Assuming it's really a scratch, and not a deep wound (which is typical of cats), clean the wound thoroughly with warm soap and water, then apply an antiseptic -- my favorite is a 50/50 split of Betadyne and hydrogen peroxide. Let it dry and bandage. Check the wound in a day or two, or if drainage is detected. If concern about Cat Scratch Fever is what prompted this question, note that nowdays only 22,000 cases are diagnosed yearly. As such, it's really very rare. If you're still worried about it, it comes most often from kittens, then cats, and occasionally ticks. Look for a low fever and swelling lymph nodes (looks a little like mumps only a lot smaller). It's easily treatable with antibiotics.
