My friends cat scratched me. is rabies likely? should i see a doctor?

Has the cat been: vaccinated for rabies. If so,everything is fine. If not, the cat needs to be quarantined and as long as its behavior is normal over the next 7-10 days,you are safe. If it dies or gets more vicious or sick,you need to see a Dr.But the likelihood of getting rabies from a cat scratch is small.

Rabies: Rabies is a preventable viral disease of mammals most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The vast majority of rabies cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) each year occur in wild animals like raccoons, skunks, bats, and foxes. http://www.cdc.gov/rabies/index.html

CAT SCRATCH: Rabies, probably not. Cat scratch infection from Bartonella, but that probably won 't happen either.
