Help! Does anyone know if this Cat is healthy? It has a wound looking marking on the back of its neck and eats and molts normally, just not sure if it’s a disease to be worried about
It looks great.

Welcome to the forum! If it has successfully moulted, it should be fine. As @milodoingstuff says, it looks great. It also looks like a later instar larva, so any diseases/parasites would start to show up soon.
Well, you’ll see it if ichneumonid will climb out of its cocoon.)

Oh, a caterpillar. I thought this was going to be someone asking for veterinary advice for their housecat!
Is it possible that’s an actual wound?

Haha sorry yea catepillar. I found only one similarish photo online and it said a wound but wanted to rule out disease
I first encountered the term ‘Cat’ on the Caterpillar Rearing Group (Facebook) based in South Africa. The ‘leaders’ (one is Suncana Bradley) belong to iNat. It still takes me aback though!
