Since you completed a rabies vaccination a year ago, you will usually need two booster doses after a new cat bite, given on day 0 and day 3. You should see a doctor promptly to ensure proper wound care and to check whether you need antibiotics or a tetanus booster, as cat bites carry a high risk of bacterial infection.
