While many medications made for people are commonly used on animals, you should only use medicine that a vet gives you. Never use human medications on an animal unless directed to do so by a vet.

I would suggest none unless your veterinarian has instructed you to medicate the wounds. When a cat is hurt, it will lick the wound, so any medication you put on the skin will end up being eaten by the cat. Most medications for the skin (called topical medications) are toxic if eaten.
