Some of the diseases that can cause death after being scratched by a cat are mainly rabies, which currently has a known mortality rate of 100 percent. The likelihood of getting rabies from a cat scratch is relatively small and significantly less than from a cat bite. And cats do not necessarily carry the rabies virus, so a scratch in this case is even less likely to infect a person with rabies. If a cat has a rabies attack and has rabies virus in its saliva, the probability of getting rabies from a bite can be compared to that of a dog during a rabies attack, which is about 15-30%. The probability of a person getting rabies after being scratched by a cat is certainly significantly smaller. According to relevant statistics, the probability of a cat carrying the rabies virus is not too high either. Therefore, the mortality rate after a cat scratch is also relatively low, mainly because the probability of transmitting rabies to a person is very low.
