If a cat touches you but does not bite or lick you, and there is no direct contact with its saliva through a wound or mucous membranes, the risk of rabies transmission is extremely low.
Next Steps
Clean the Area: If a cat scratches or bites you, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
• Consult a Doctor: If you’re concerned about potential rabies exposure, especially if the cat’s vaccination status is unknown or the cat was behaving unusually, consult a healthcare professional. They may recommend a rabies vaccination as a precaution.
• Observe the Cat: If possible, monitor the cat’s behavior over the next 10 days. Rabid animals typically show signs of illness within this time.
