Although it is very unlikely to cause u rabies,
it depends on weather the cat is infected with rabies.
Rabies vaccine is used against Rhabdo virus when the virus is transmitted to humans via any bite marks/ cut in skin or mucous membrane which is mostly carried through nerves .
Rabies disease have serious complications. If the water is infected with rhabdo virus u might end up getting rabies disease
My suggestion is to take rabies vaccine as a precaution.
Also I suggest u to utilize clean water than a water contaminated by cats as it may posses risk of causing multiple infection.
