In my US state rabies is not uncommon. Local citizens are in the news regularly due to being scratched or bitten by a rabid animal. It’s very risky to chance it and not seek medical care. I’d get medical advice immediately. Usually, the affected pet should be quarantined. They could infect other people and animals which is very serious. I can’t stress enough how serious of a health concern it is for an unvaccinated animal to bite or scratch anyone.

the cat seems fine though
being honest, the only reason the cat even scratched me is that i caught them by surprise and they jumped
also i'm in Missouri, for whatever that may be worth
