Is it possible for a stray cat to carry the rabies virus?

The possibility of stray cats carrying the rabies virus is relatively high.
Infection by the rabies virus will cause the body to be jeopardized by rabies, a zoonotic infectious disease, and Asia and Africa are the regions where rabies is most prevalent, and once rabies develops, the mortality rate caused by the disease is 100%.
Although canines are susceptible to the rabies virus in nature, cats are also susceptible to the virus, and stray cats are more likely to come into contact with all kinds of bacteria and viruses in the course of wandering, so the possibility of carrying the rabies virus is higher than that of domesticated cats. However, there are no relevant statistics on the chances of cats carrying the rabies virus.
Whether scratched and bitten by stray cats or domestic cats, you should go to the hospital or immunization station for rabies vaccination in time.
