Got Bit By A Stray Cat Whom I Feed

2025-12-13 07:59:24
I was feeding and sheltering a stray cat (seemingly 2-3 months old) for a month and while playing with her she bit me. It has been 10 days since the bite and I see her everyday. She doesn't show any symptom of rabies and seems perfectly healthy and normal. She doesn't go outside alot but sometimes where the other cats stay she roams. Do I need to be worried about rabies or any other disease?
