Specializes in Pediatrics

Rabies: Only very, very rarely can rabies show up after this amount of time. Usually, it's less than 3 months. If you watched the cat, and it didn't show signs of rabies, you are fine. Otherwise, I'd contact your health department, or your doctor, and find out their recommendations.
