My vaccinated cat scratched me.

2026-11-05 18:11:55
Was playing with my vaccinated cat, and it accidentally scratched my elbow. It is a healthy 1 year old vaccinated cat. Usually stays indoors. But not strictly. The scratch is tiny but i did see a thin blood line. I also had my tetanus shot a year ago. I had a full course of rabies vaccination when i was 10. Do i need vaccination? What should I do?
