If the cat has rabies, a minor break in the skin from a cat scratch may be more dangerous. If the cat is not infected with rabies virus, it is usually not dangerous to be scratched by the cat. If the cat is infected with rabies, the cat’s claws may have the rabies virus, and there may be a risk of rabies infection after being scratched by the cat with a slight break in the skin; if the cat does not carry the rabies virus, a slight break in the skin after being scratched by the cat is usually not dangerous. If the skin is slightly broken after being scratched by a cat, you need to wash the wound repeatedly with soap and water, and then disinfect the wound with alcohol or iodophor. In addition, within 24 hours after being scratched by a cat, you need to go to the hospital for rabies vaccination or rabies immunoglobulin, which can reduce the chance of rabies infection. Because rabies is incurable and 100% lethal after infection, it is recommended that after being bitten and scratched by animals such as dogs and cats, the wound should be cleaned in time and consult a doctor as soon as possible, and the rabies vaccine can be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
