Scratched by a stray cat
Hi , I was scratched by a stray cat who comes in my home now and then. It was not a bite but paw scratches. I had minor cuts and slight bleeding also. I took ARV in Dec 2019 and tetnus shot in Dec 2020. Should I be worried about the scratches even after washing with soap thoroughly?
