Get to a vet for sure. I was bitten by a cat about 8 years ago. I had to have a tetanus shot and anti-biotics and that was the most painful bite I have had(was bitten by a dog before also). I also had some minor nerve damage at the bite site, which had to be treated.
Our vet told me that cat bites were one of the worst to get infected. I am not trying to scare you, but I would get to a vet asap.
