This is how many days old injury. Cats can transmit rabies. So it is a cause for concern. The safest game is to take atleast 5 doses of rabies vaccine.

First you should clean your wound under running water for about good 5 to 10 mins. You can also use soap. It just look like superficial scratch. TT inj if you haven't taken any in last 5 years Hope you are vaccinated fully.
Next Steps
watch closely if there are any signs of infection in coming days.
