Should I get post exposure vaccine

I have read the FAQ.

I was in Thailand and bitten by a semi-stray cat on June 25th. Resort (near Krabi) had a bunch of cats living on it but they did not appear to be owned. I was picking up/petting one of them that seemed friendly and not what I thought a rabid cat would behave/look like but looking back it was kind of lethargic and made wheezing sounds. It gave me a seemingly friendly bite on my thumb that did not bleed but I am concerned about micro tears that could transmit the virus. I’m pretty sure I’m vaccinated but I can’t remember how long ago it was. Is this something I should be worried about and get a post-exposure vaccine, especially since rabies is endemic to Thailand?

Thoughts on the turtlemonger in Suttree’s dreams? What could he represent/what is so horrible in his bag?

I have wondered if the turtle seller and whatever is in his bag relate to Suttree’s guilt around his twin and perhaps even the hellish dream Suttree has while in the Knoxville jail: “The traveler had seized his fingers in his jaws, but it was not alone this horror that he cried. Beyond the flayed man dimly adumbrate another figure paled, for his surgeons move about the world even a young and I” (86). I think another interpretation is that the turtlermonger could be the devil visiting or judging Suttree, or the turtlemonger is a “surgeon” of the figure with the flayed man.
