A cat bite can lead to rabies, so a person bitten by a cat should not be taken lightly and should be judged by the size and depth of the wound to determine if further treatment is necessary. Although cats and dogs are different, cats and dogs are both high-risk animals for the transmission of rabies virus and are important vectors for rabies transmission. If a cat carries the rabies virus or is in the incubation period for rabies, it is possible to transmit the rabies virus to a person through the bite wound. Only if the cat has been vaccinated against rabies or it is clear by other means that the cat does not carry the rabies virus can it be confirmed that it does not have the ability to transmit rabies. If the skin remains intact after being bitten by a cat, there is no need to worry. However, in most cases, a person cannot be guaranteed to be 100% safe, so rabies vaccination is recommended to prevent rabies after being scratched, and possibly rabies immunoglobulin if there is a lot of bleeding. In addition to dogs, cats, pigs, cattle, horses, and bats can transmit rabies virus, and people should be vigilant if they are accidentally bitten.
