A member asked:
I petted a street cat with moist fur who seemed friendly. there was no scratch or bite by cat. skin near fingernail on upper side of finger had abrasion. 2 days later cat looked ok. started rabies vaccine on 3rd day( 60 ish hours). will it still work?

It does not sound that in your case rabies transmission would have been possible as petting a rabid animal ( not likely that cat had rabies on description) is not associated with risk of infection. Cdc.gov is a reliable site to get more information about rabies transmission.
