Hello Sir .. Good to see you on Practo.. Basically rabies spread through mucosa of Dog ..From Cat it's very less or no chances to spread Rabies ..
And already u have completed rabies vaccine course before 1.5 month back..So as per my suggestion did not need to take rabies vaccine..Cat is domestic pet ..Just watch on Cat for Rabid condition
