YourCatActingDaft?: Rabies is most often transmitted through a bite from an infected animal. Less frequently,it can be passed on when the saliva of an infected animal enters another animal's body through mucous membranes or an open wound.The risk for contracting rabies runs highest if your cat is exposed to wild animals. Your story is unlikely unless your cat is acting weird.But you best call your local Health Dept.
