I can’t stop crying she won’t let me near it I called my vet it’s a 24 hour cause they have s little hospital at the back but they won’t let me go until the available appointment even though I was heart broken and begging her on the phone , she said if Cleo isn’t in a state of distress she will be fine , the lady said as I was more distressed than Cleo I said know but if it’s from the drink she had this since yesterday but we had our hour smooch before bed but I tend not to touch her left side as that’s where she was spayed please help me please tell me what I can put on her while I’m wait to go to the heartless vets
Please any help

As the vet said, if she is not in distress she will be fine, I would just be sure it doesn't worsen, I'm sure she will be fine, take a deep breath, the vet appointment will be there before you know it. :)

I wouldn’t do a thing until the vet gets a good look. Glad she is acting normal. Please update us after the vet.

Like the others have said I would wait till the vets especially if she isn't acting particularly distressed. I know it's hard but until you know how bad it is I would wait till it is checked out and just keep and eye on her.

So it's a burn? Leave it alone. Putting anything on it at this point could cause infection.
Wait for what the vet suggests.

From your photo we can't tell how large the area is. That plays a part in the severity and rate of healing.

Poor girl - but if she seems fine it likely does not bother her as much as it bothers you.

One thing that my vet told me is that we see much more on these guys than you would on a regular cat with fur. So sometimes it looks really bad, but you wouldn't have even seen it on a regular cat. From what I can see, it looks like 3-4 cm square area? She will be okay, burns hava happened to these guys before from sitting too long on heaters, etc. Just like if a child has a small burn, you would try to put something cool on it, keep them comfortable. The only thing I might do is put a cool wet washcloth on it. Let us know what the vet says.

Take a deep breath, take a look at Cleo, see she’s acting normal. It’s a good thing you’ll go to the vet and let her check. I know it’s difficult to wait till the appoinment but she’ll be fine till then.

Big hugs for you and healing vibes to Cleo.

Hello everyone I feel a bit foolish now I really did make my self sick over this so much so I actually vomited
I took the picture as close as I possibly could it’s in actual fact no bigger than a 2 p in our coinage
I remembered my grandmother said nothing better for a Burn than natural honey so I had local natural honey in and I applied a thin layer and Cleo the super star never even tried to lick it ...
when we finally got to vet he said I was in more of a state than Cleo and said I was being a tad over protective , but as
@MollysMom said had Cleo had fur we wouldn’t have seen it at all
So I feel a tad silly now and feel you will all think me a nut job
But I was really scared when I saw it
So thank you to everyone who showed concern to my baby girl
I should have known she was a tough little cookie as how she was after being spayed running round like she was in training for a marathon
Really heartfelt thanks hugs and kisses

I have pushed the panic button many times when it comes to these guys... 5 years in now, I am a bit mor level headed when they have an issue. Glad she is doing well.

I'm glad to hear your baby Cleo is doing fine now. I also get upset if anything seems wrong with my little guy, Dash. :)

Thank you for your reply
I love Cleo beyond words and I know you all get that feeling , everyone here was upset but I was truly distrort , I think if our babies get hurt we kinda blame ourselves in cases similar to this
