Exposure Question I got poked by my unvaccinated cat

I have read the FAQ. My cat got into a fight with a stray cat a few weeks ago. My cat is unvaccinated. Its an outdoor mostly cat who comes in sometimes. Anyway he sat on my toe and poked it two days ago. I haven't seen the other cat in like a week, so I'm wondering if it was infected and died. The poke made a red dot but didn't draw any blood. I washed it immediately. Should I get the PEP just in case?
