It is extremely unlikely, the virus is present in the saliva so if the cat was licking it's wound (very common) there could be some virus in the wet saliva but you would have to get that into your body and your skin (unless you too have a cut where you touched the saliva) is a good barrier...
Be very careful: untreated rabies is fatal in 99% of cases...

Yes, rabies can kill humans. Rabies, in humans, causes a fear of water = dehydration, it can also give you a high fever and massive headaches.

You will need to get 100 shots (I'm not kidding either) an average of 4 people die each year from rabies.
How are rabies transmitted?
Rabies is spread by infected saliva that enters the body through a bite or broken skin. The virus travels from the wound to the brain, where it causes swelling, or inflammation. This inflammation leads to symptoms of the disease. Most rabies deaths occur in children
