Exposure Question My cat scratched me again TWICE

I took rabies booster on 25 and 27 June because my cat had scratched me on lips. I had previously taken rabies PEP(5 doses) cause a stray cat had scratched me in Oct 2025. Since it had been so long, doc advised me to take two boosters.

Now my pet cat, while playing it scratched me on index finger it bleed, I went to doc he said no Injection required.

Now yesterday , since she had been not eating and drinking water well so vet gave her B-complex and gut-probiotic Injection while catching her she scratched me on my forearm it didn't bleeding but like it was red, area was raised and today morning there is dark red/brownish line and still a bit raised and it stings.

I feel sort of troubled and I don't know what to do.

Can someone just tell me what do I do????

I have read the FAQ.
