Cat scratch! No bleeding, no wound!

2020-06-11 09:49:58
Got scratched (i guess) by a stray cat! I am sure the cat has  NOT been vaccinated! I don't know if the cat put its teeth on my skin or just the nails or both. However, there are NO marks, got NO wounds, NO bleeding, NO pain, NO burning sensation!! Should i take tetanus injection? Should i wait for a month or two to take the tetanus injection? Is antirabies injection required in my case coz it didn't bleed, neither can i see the wound, nor is it hurting. The last time i took tetanus injection was in May 2016!! Also i immediately washed that area with Dettol antiseptic liquid. Have a look at the picture attached.
