Wash the area with running water for 15 min with soap, then apply povidone iodine, since both cat and you are vaccinated then post bite vaccination may not be required

Wash the area well with soap under running water for a while. If you've not taken an antitetanus shot in the last 6 months then get that done. Since you are already vaccinated for rabies you need not get that done.

Just relax and don’t worry. Wash the area with soap . And you are vaccinated in June so no need to get another dose of anti rabies vaccine. You can get one shot of TT only .
