    It is the season of high incidence of rabies, and doctors remind that a cat bite can also cause rabies, so the public should not be careless.

    Dogs, cats, and rats belong to an upper and lower chain of infection, if the sick rabies bite the cat, and the bitten cat bites the mouse, then the rabies virus will spread between the three animals, and once the rabies infected cat or mouse attacks humans, even if there is only a slight scratch, it can also infect people with rabies.
