Is my cat sick? (some squeamish people may not want to look at these pictures)?
I don't want to go to the vet if I'm just over-reacting. These wounds haven't gotten any bigger throughout today. I've just noticed them today and they were fresh earlier. The blood was still wet. There is one on her hind leg and one identical to it on her diagonal front leg.
What I want to know is:
1.) Is this something I should take her to the vet for immediately? Or is it better to wait a few days to see if things get worse?
2.) Should I bandage these up, and if so, how?
花ちゃん (pronounced Hana-chan) is only 9 months old. She is a tabby kitten. No sudden changes in her diet. She hasn't had any other weird behavior. She's her regular rambunctious self. She is constantly running around. There is a possibility that she scraped her limbs on chair legs, counter edges, or anything like that. I have not found any fur or cat skin anywhere yet though, and I have looked.
Here are pictures of what it looks like:

Thank you so much for your help!!!
I help a lot of people out with their cats on here, so I'd appreciate any good help you can give me!
NOTE:: I also have NOT seen her biting, gnawing, or scratching at all, and I've been watching her like a hawk ALL day.
To answer your question about if it smells, it does not smell any different than the rest of her.
She is a good smelling cat. She however, did not like me pinning her down to smell it, haha!
Is it alright to use warm salt water, even if I'm not sure if it's an infection or a scrape?
Also no other liquid is leaking from it, it's dry and not bleeding any more. I can't tell if it's warm. My hands are so cold, that everything feels warm to me right now. And it doesn't seem to hurt her if I touch, press, or rub it. At least, she doesn't jerk away or anything. But she's really trusting when she's around me any way. I can push her over and knock her down and she will just pur and pur until I pet her. Haha.
She's an awesome laid back kitten.
I should probably check my other cat and keep them separate for now, shouldn't I?
WELL I THINK IT'S AN INFECTION AND SHE DOES NEED A VET!!! I was looking through pictures, like an idiot, I know. Looking for anything on her leg or arm. On the same leg, from January 3rd, I can see a tiny red scab in the same spot. It is definitely getting bigger, and I just didn't notice it before.
I need to take her to a vet tomorrow. That's just what has to be done. It probably is ring worms. Every article I've seen looks the same. I guess it's good I caught it this early. I've seen some terrible cats with it all over them in those pictures online. I will be choosing a best answer as soon as it lets me.

Good names of a cat that looks like this…? (details inside)?
Tthis is a picture of the kitten we're getting's mom. The mom came to our house on Halloween of 2007, so we decided to keep her. After a few months, we let her outside and she didn't come back. We put up signs and a person a street away from us called and said she was theirs and at their house. We were sad, but a week ago we heard the cat we previously owned had kittens. We called and the owner said the mom had 4 kittens and one of them looked a lot like the mom and said we could have that kitten.
This is a few pictures of the mom:



What are some good names?
Thanks!
** Sorry, but she's a girl. =)
And yeah, about the collar thing. She was basically an indoor-outdoor cat, since she traveled to both my house and my neighbors. But the kitten we're getting is going to be an indoor cat…and thank you for the advice. I'll definitely remember not to put a collar on her.

kittens soon..?
A cat that hangs out outside my house is going to have kittens, she is huge. Is there anything or like a box or something I can put out so she is more comfortable? She is a really sweet cat and I do not want her or her kittens to be harmed, I feed her and stuff. If you have any tips .. please let me know..
Also since she isn't my kitty can I take her to the vet still and have her fixed so she cannot have anymore kittens? since she is a stray. She is really sweet and I like having her around but I do not want her harmed, and I want her to stay here where I know she will be taken care of. Also, she is huge- how long do you think it will be until she has her kittens? i can take a picture if needed.
