Rabies
is an acute infectious disease caused by rabies virus infection. It can only be infected after being scratched by a cat carrying rabies virus. If it is a cat raised by oneself and there is no bleeding or damage to the local skin after being scratched, the probability of infection in this case is usually small. However, if scratched by stray cats, the probability of carrying rabies virus is relatively high, in addition to obvious bleeding and damage of skin, and no timely disinfection treatment and vaccination and other protective measures, the possibility of rabies infection is usually relatively high.
