Hi, I am female, from the Philippines. Today I got bitten around the palm area by our pet cat. We were trying to treat her wounds when she attacked me. The bite punctured like a needle. It s a tiny bite, but it was bleeding. I pressed down firmly on the bitten area using my fingers, and I washed it with soap and water. My plan is to wait and observe the cat for 10-14 days for signs of rabies infection. Is it the right thing to do? Thank You.
No, you will need to get shots to prevent and treat infections. And also local Chat Doctor.  Rabies prophylaxis will be a must irrespective of bite when bleeding is visible, but may vary as per local country guideline.
