Its important to get vaccinated for rabies after any mammal scratch / bite. Animals keep on licking their feet , hence there is a potential risk of transmission of virus even on scratches, please take rabies vaccine along with TT.

To get the better treatment plan or management of the disease along with second opinion kindly always prefer video consultation . A video consultation is best for better understanding the disease and to explain the prognosis

Yes, according to the Indian National Guidelines for Rabies Prophylaxis, a cat scratch is considered a potential exposure to rabies if the cat is suspected to be rabid or if its rabies vaccination status is unknown. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is recommended in such cases.
TT should also be taken.
