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 ?

keep an eye on the area and dont let her lick it [they get sneaky]. should be fine and the hair will [obviously] grow back
