    Of course not! I've been raising cats since I was a child, all of them are adopted stray cats, stray cats are just starting to be hostile to people and easy to scratch, don't say that you are a wound and don't know if you have touched it. I was scratched by a cat since I was a child, and the blood was also broken and washed with soap.

    Remember to wash your hands when you go home after feeding the cat, at most it is possible to grab something directly because you have not washed your hands, and the eggs on some cats may have a chance of infection, which is the most serious consequence

    Agree with the 1st floor, in fact, stray cats and dogs are not so scary, hands are scratched as long as they are washed with soap and then disinfected with iodine alcohol, this is to prevent bacterial infection, not to worry about rabies

    If the cat has no rabies symptoms within 10 days and does not die of rabies, it is rabies-free, so there is no need to worry. However, you should still be careful when playing with cats, don't hold the cat reluctantly, and don't frighten the cat with soothing movements. The landlord is very caring, I hope the stray cats can continue to be taken care of by you.

    Feel relieved. Probability, such mild contact should not be possible.

    But it's true that wild stray cats often have viruses on them. If you weren't scratched at the scene, and the wound didn't bleed, it wasn't a big problem, and it would be better to be small in the future.

    Your wound is not contaminated by the cat's saliva, it is not bitten by it, and you are fine.

    Even if it is bitten, to be honest, although the theory is that it is possible to get rabies, I have never heard of anyone who really got rabies because of a cat bite for so many years!

    The chance of cat infection with rabies is 1 in 10,000, and the rabies virus is mostly in the mouth of animals, and the rabies virus is anaerobic, afraid of high temperatures, ultraviolet rays and alcohol, if you are scratched, you should first squeeze out the blood, and then apply soap, scrub, rinse with water for a few minutes, and then use alcohol, but the wound should not be bandaged.

    If it is a stray cat, you should pay attention to it, stray animals will be very dirty, but you are afraid of being infected with other viruses, it is best to go to the hospital for examination.

    If it's a very small cat, don't worry, because animals are born to a month old and have strong immunity, just like humans, at that time they don't carry germs, so there is no problem. Don't be too nervous. But if it's a big cat, it's still recommended that you get an injection for reassurance.

    Don't worry too much, a shallow wound won't be a big deal, but be careful in the future, and pay attention to safety when playing with stray animals!
