My cat got a fish hook stuck in it's paw and it made a cut trying to get it out. How should I treat this. I was going to put Neosporin on it.

You should at least call your vet. Some fishhooks are rusty and your cat could get an infection quite quickly. Bathe it in betandine solution and warm water, then put hydrogen peroxide on it, pat it dry then apply an anti bacterial ointment that is not toxic to cats. Keep her confined in a small room just to be sure she is okay and call your vet
