Hello, Welcome to HCM,
As you were bit by a cat, which can transmit rabies,which is 100 % fatal but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment.
For your condition I would suggest to follow 1. Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water to washout the rabies virus if it is present in and around the wound.
