Hello
Welcome to health care magic

Anti rabies vaccination protocol should be similarly followed for cat bite as well.
There was bleeding at site means it is a category III wound.
If you have taken full course vaccination within last 2 years,now you just need to take 2 intramuscular doses of Rabipur vaccine as on day 0 and day 3.
Previous complete course of vaccination implies 5 intramuscular or 4 intradermal doses with 1 booster at day 90.

Hope I answered your query.
Any more query is welcome .
