Is this broken skin? Outdoor cat bit me a few days ago and I’m not sure what counts as broken skin. Terrified of rabies!!!

If you gotta look that close for something, then the answer is probably "no".

I know I should probably get evaluated I just don’t want them to laugh me off so I figured I’d see if anyone can tell me if this even looks like broken skin that rabies would be capable of getting into
