Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I really appreciate your concern for the treatment of cat bite.
Since you have taken the anti rabies vaccine (rabipur) as per the scheduled advised by the doctor in May 2010, and the the fact that you have been bitten by a strange cat you need to take two booster doses of anti rabies vaccine on 0 and 3 days.
Hope this answers your query.
Best regards.
