Getting her to the vet is a good idea. When my cat fell (or jumped?) off of our balcony and was lost for several hours, coming back scraped up, I took her in just as a precautionary measure. When we adopted B-Rock, he was mostly an outdoor cat. He’d come home with a wound on his head and the previous owner left it untreated. The wound abscessed - he was dealing with a serious infection when we adopted him and got him the vet attention he needed. A simple vet visit would have prevented the abscessing of his wound.
You never know what your cat encountered while outside (yet another reason to keep her indoors - you cannot control the dangers abounding outside!), so it’s a good idea to have her checked out. It would be a good idea to get an antibiotic shot for her cuts, especially if they are so big. A deep cut, or one with a large surface area, is going to be more prone to infection.

Keep the wound clean some Diluted Hydrogen peroxide. Watch for infection. A vet would give her a antibiotic shot. If the wound start to get infected take her to the vet. Me I don’t let my cats out at all.

Have your cat treated by a vet. Its cut probably needs to be cleaned out and bandaged, and your cat will most likely need to be given one of those large elizabethan collars to keep it from licking or chewing at it. I would not just let this go if I were you, if your cat gets an infection, gangrene or blood poisoning could set in and kil your cat.

Bring her to the vet immediately. Since she has lots of cuts, she is probably losing blood fast. Make sure she doesn’t lose too much blood, or she can faint and even die. I suggest you bring her to the vet RIGHT NOW or first thing in the morning tomorrow.
And, never let your cat outside again. See, when you let your cat outside, bad things like this can happen. Once you let your cat out again, it will come back bloody, or maybe even never come back.
ome of the risks to outside cats are……
Traffic. The closer you live to highly trafficked roads the greater the risk of death, or serious injury, to your outdoor cat. Cats and traffic do not mix, period.
Dogs and other animals. Free roaming dogs, other cats, foxes, rodents, snakes etc. can cause outdoor cats injury (and even death.) Sadly, sadistic humans are sometimes the cause of cat injuries.
Loss. Cats, being curious by nature, love to investigate strange places and can get shut in garages or garden sheds. Outdoor cats can get driven away in vehicles they have climbed into. It is not unknown for outside cats to move in with someone else, no matter how well you may have treated them. It must also be mentioned that there are low life cat-snatchers that patrol the streets.
Poisoning. Outside cats can become poisoned by the many chemicals used in gardening, or by eating prey that has been poisoned. Many of the plants found in gardens can be poisonous to your cat
Fighting. Territorial, and other disputes, can lead to fighting between outdoor cats and these fights may result in serious injury. Un-neutered tom cats are particularly at risk.
Disease Fighting with other outdoor cats, and feral cats, can result in infections with, FIV (cat HIV), feline leukemia virus, and cat flu amongst other diseases.
Parasites Fleas and other parasites can be picked up by outside cats from their prey, and contact with other animals.
As well as the above dangers there may be a few other problems for the owners of cats that are allowed outside…
Offerings. Outdoor kitties will often leave you a present, the trophies of their hunt, more often than not right in the middle of the carpet.
Angry neighbors. The owners of outdoor cats frequently have to deal with complaints from neighbors, about their cat using other peoples gardens as a public toilet (or worse, using their child’s sandbox to relieve itself in.)
Wildlife Cats do not only hunt undesirable wildlife unfortunately, any creature of a suitable size will be seen as prey whether it’s a rodent or a rare wild bird. Upsetting, but that is the nature of cats. Your free roaming cat will likely generate complaints from your neighbors about its hunting habits.
As stated above, where you live will have to be a major influence on your decision. Outside cats may not be the best choice for those of us that live in towns or cities. The heavy traffic levels of today do not give cats much of a chance. Keeping an outdoor cat may not be an option for those who live in high rise apartments.
Your lifestyle will also be a factor in your choice. Is there someone in the home for large parts of the day, or does work and other commitments mean that an indoor cat would spend a lot of its time in solitary?
Do outdoor cats have a shorter lifespan ? The dangers to cats in the outside world must mean that on average felines that are exposed to those dangers don’t live as long as cats that are protected by being kept inside. But many out door cats do live to enjoy their full life span.
Some experts claim that the average lifespan of a outdoor cats is as low as 18 months. Others say 5 years. These low figures must include feral cats (for whom the perils of existence are greater).
See, look at all the bad stuff that can happen to your cat if you let it roam free outside. If your cat INSISTS on going inside, push it around in a closed baby stroller with a the front made of wire mesh to the cat can still experience the outdoors, or get a cat lead, or leash, and walk your cat around.

I would really take the cat to the vet. It was probably in a fight. Remember, keep the wound clean until you take it to the vet!
