The exposure you described—stepping on cat saliva present on the floor—is generally not considered a rabies exposure, even if you had a small crack on the toe. Rabies transmission requires fresh saliva from a potentially rabid animal to directly contact broken skin or mucous membranes; environmental/indirect contact is not considered an exposure.
Moreover, you completed your rabies vaccination course on 11 August. You do not need to repeat the complete vaccine course or take rabies immunoglobulin for this incident.
Wash the area thoroughly with soap and running water. If there was actually direct licking of the broken skin, a bite, or a scratch by the cat, then it is required.
