It is also possible to get rabies if you get infected with rabies virus after being scratched by a cat. For rodents, including dogs and cats, they may carry rabies virus in their bodies, which may lead to rabies after being scratched or bitten by them. Rabies is an acute infectious disease of the central nervous system caused by the rabies virus, and is currently one of the most malignant infectious diseases, with no effective treatment options and a mortality rate close to 100 percent. Therefore, after being scratched by a cat, especially if there is exposure to blood and body fluids, it is important to strictly disinfect and treat the wound in a timely manner, and then carry out regular vaccination to minimize or even minimize the chances of getting rabies.
