Here’s what you should do: Clean the Wound: Immediately wash the area thoroughly with soap and water for 10–15 minutes. Apply Antiseptic: Use an antiseptic solution (like betadine). Consult a Doctor: Start a rabies vaccination schedule as soon as possible. Monitor the Cat: If the cat is healthy, observe it for 10 days for signs of illness. Rabies is fatal but preventable, so don’t delay seeking medical attention.
