Is a cat scratch enough to puncture an implant? (photos)

My indoor cat scratched my upper right breast. I'm 9 months post op with hp under the muscle. It broke the surface of my skin and you can see blood but it's not dripping or anything. Could this have affected my implant? It seems superficial but should I be concerned? I put neosporin on it.
