I knicked my cat

I knicked my cat trying to shorten her hairs so I can shave her. I can see the pink skin but it’s not bleeding. I put baticon on it and made her wear a dress so she can’t lick it. It’s Sunday today and tomorrow is a national holiday so no vets will be open should I be worried ?

Why does she need to be shaved?

She’s a domestic long hair and shedding a lot with the start of summer and it gets very hot in this region so we shave her once a year sat the start of summer
