Cat bite before 6 month
6–7 months ago, I was superficially bitten by a domestic cat on my foot (no bleeding). The cat stayed at home for some days, but I am not sure if it was present for the full 10-day observation period. The cat appeared normal while it was around. Since then, no one in my family (3 people bitten) has shown any rabies symptoms. Given this timeline, is there still any real risk of rabies, or can it be ruled out now?

We can't say anything for sure in this but you can go for vaccination with your physician opinion. There are test available to check for antigen too. You can ask that from your physician who can guide you.
