5 dose of rabies vaccination gives immunity for 1 to 3 years. No vaccination is required if the bite or scratch occurs within 3 months. Your vaccination course was done 1 month back so you do not need any vaccine.
Next Steps
Be careful with animals. Vaccinate them by a veterinary doctor.

Since you completed a full 5-dose rabies vaccination course just about a month ago, your immunity is strong. For a cat bite or scratch from a known domestic cat in this situation, WHO guidelines recommend 2 booster doses (on day 0 and day 3) — no rabies immunoglobulin is required. You do not need to restart the full course.
Next Steps
Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water, and consult your doctor for the 2 booster doses as a precaution. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
