My cat found a mouse and was playing with it (e.g. hitting it with paw, picking up in mouth). i got the mouse away but the cat was scratching at the container and may have superficially scratched me. should i be worried about rabies for either of us?

Basics. House cats with no outside exposure are not a risk, outside cats, may have minor risk. Your county health department would have data on rabies activity in your region & be able to answer this question. The answer would vary depending on where you live. Has the cat been vaccinated? You get more from this site when you provide more background information.
