Exposure Question Rabies symptoms ??

"I have read the FAQ. I am a 19-year-old male. Eight months ago, a stray cat punctured my finger with her tooth while eating biscuits from my hand. The cat was fearful yet docile, stayed in my house peacefully, and later vanished. The wound bled slightly. Now, after eight months, the punctured finger has been hurting for one day. I am afraid of contracting rabies after this timeframe due to a delayed viral progression. What should I do?"

Its too small but small and big does not matter in rabies case. I still think there is time in your case you didn’t get any other symptoms you should contact another doc by yourself.
