The most common problem with cat fights is that when they scratch each other, they can leave bacteria under the skin, or even a piece of a nail under their opponent's skin, which then gets infected. This can then cause an abcess, which is a subcutaneous (under the skin) infection which will need to be drained by a vet, who will also prescribe an antibiotic. Rabies is high on the list once again and not all people keep their cat's shots up. However, if your cat has had their rabies shots then they should be just fine.
