The probability of contracting rabies after a cat scratch is low, but there is no research evidence to give a specific number. Cats can carry the rabies virus, and the saliva of sick cats carrying the rabies virus can contain a large amount of rabies virus. Cats like to lick their paws, so their paws may carry the rabies virus, and there is a probability of being infected with rabies after being scratched by cats, but the probability of being infected is relatively small due to the low amount of virus. Rabies itself is also a rare disease, only a small percentage of cats may carry the rabies virus, most cats do not carry the rabies virus, so you will not be infected with rabies after being scratched by a cat that is not infected with the rabies virus. The death rate of rabies is very high, once scratched by dogs and cats, you need to go to an infectious disease hospital for rabies vaccination to prevent rabies.
