Cat bite.Is it dangerous?
I was bitten and wounded by my cat who was  vaccinated for rabies. But​ she had interacted with other cats who are not vaccinated and have babies. I have properly washed my hand with soap and even applied Betadine ointment on the minor wound. Do i have to get consulted and get any vaccination for myself for rabies or tetanus?
