Yes, you should get rabies vaccination even if the cat appears fine. Rabies can transmit through scratches if saliva contacts the wound. Advice: Consult a Doctor Immediately: Start the post-exposure rabies vaccine schedule (if not already). Clean the Wound: Wash with soap and water thoroughly. Monitor the Cat: Observe for 10 days for any abnormal behavior. Timely vaccination is crucial for safety.
