Hi Peter,
A few words of caution. Puncture wounds are very hard to detect 
thru all those feathers and sometimes the little bit of blood that may 
result could be restricted to below the skin surface. If the cat bit the 
dove you can be sure the bird will need antibiotics! Cat's have very 
"dirty" mouths (Pasteurella,etc.). So a trip to the local vet may be in 
order. Good luck.
Greg
