If it's a minor wound, you can use medical grade hydrogen peroxide available at
any drug store.

Cat bites to humans can be very serious but I don't know if cats
immune systems protect them from their own. I haven't had to clean up
after that kind of mess but I have had to clean allergy reactions that
cause kitty to bite himself and I've used hydrogen peroxide and a
topical treatment of one of the triple antibiotic topicals like
neosporin (vet ok'd it on the tail area that can be licked off, but I
had to use an e-collar to let it "set in". On the neck I suspect
kitty can't easily lick it off)
