Rabies fear
Iam 24 years old and have 4 cats...but we do not keep them in house. We and my family members often get scratches from them. 20 days ago i also got 1 small scratch but it was healed in 3-4 days. After 20 days i had mild fever for a day and throat infection which is better after 3 days and runny nose. I fear i might have rabies or it may be just my thinking. Because of this iam not able to take good sleep...woke up.many times in between. Kindly help me in this.
My cat is friendly and loves to show affection bjt she is not vaccinated.

You will have to decide whether you want to get the cats out of your house or you want to live in fear permanently. This will often happen if you keep cats at home.
Next Steps
Please consult a Veterinarian in your area who can advise you about vaccination of cats. For yourself , there is no long term vaccination against Rabies. Even as per WHO Guidelines you have take repeat vaccination if you are bitten or scratched by a dog even after full vaccination earlier.
So decision is yours.
