My male cat did that once. He acted like he had the worse wound in world and wouldn't let me touch it. I felt bad so I let him stay inside and gave him wet food. Next morning he was fine. I think he just wanted attention. LOL!

Yeah... keep it clean, keep your cat quiet... you might want to check his temp if he'll stand for it; fever's a good indicator of infection.
