Cat wounds heal at the surface first, rather than bleeding which can clean out foreign and infectious matter. A scratched cat is, as you note, very likely to develop an abscess, an infected swelling full of dead white blood cells or "pus".
There is little that can be done once the infection has developed. If you catch a scratch when it is fresh, you can shave and clean the area around it, and then apply a topical antibiotic -- but due to differences between human and cat metabolism, check with your vet first to see what antibiotics are safe for your cat. You may have to either put a cone around your cat's head, or apply a sticky and annoying bandage to some more easily reached part of him to distract him, so that he does not lick the antibiotic off the wound.
