You may have come across a stray cat.If you are not certain whether you had bite or scratch,post exposure anti rabies vaccination is advised.
Previous vaccination you received in 2019 -if it was pre exposure vaccine ,get the antibody titre done
However proper treatment is needed in a person with post exposure
