Yes take the rabies shots. If the cat is not been vaccinated then get vaccination done. First completely wash the wound completely with soap. Go to government hospital near by and get the rabies vaccination of post exposure prophylaxis. Complete the course.
Next Steps
Wash the wound thoroughly with running water use soap.
