Seems "kutch" really a sadist and dont know how to answer for a question who is asking question, pity on you.

You have nothing to worry about scratch of a cat it is quite happening when you have pets at home, it will be better if you could take TT injuction, but I dont know it is available here in Qatar.

For precautions and better care, you should go for emergency care, they will give you shot. Those wild cats & dogs has virus in their paws which can spread rapidly to brain and it's very dangerous.

To make sure, you are safe, you should get this shot from hospital.

I hope you are safe, get well soon.

Just wash the cuts with soap and water, apply disinfectant and antibiotic cream.

If you haven't had a tetanus shot in the last 5 years, I'd say yes - it's a good idea.
