A member asked:
Indoor cat that was not vaccinated escaped for 2 days. gave rabies vax immediately but how long do we have to worry about not touching his saliva? says that incubation can be a year but that vax reaches full effect in a month so when are we safe?

Your cat is vaccinated and protected from developing rabies even if your cat was bitten by a rabid animal. You are not at risk to develop rabies by toughing the saliva of your cat or by being bitten by it.
