it will be ideal to take anti-rabies vaccination if you got a scratch. If you are sure the cat is not stray cat or it is not infected, you may avoid taking it and moreover, if you had taken TT in the last year it can also be avoided now for a scratch as tetanus spreads by oiled and deep wounds theoretically
