I feel since u are already vaccinated this October 2023, the effect of the vaccine will be there around until October 2024...
So mostly you don't need to be scared or take rabies injection even if a stray dog or cat bites u

There's no need to worry. You have been vaccinated recently, and you didn't get biten by the cat to have a bleeding wound.
Viruses enter the skin via bleeding wound, which you don't have. On the other hand, vaccination will protect you from infection. So nothing risky here.
