    No.

    Rabies is usually transmitted through blood or saliva, and cats can only get rabies if they are bitten by an animal that carries the rabies virus and the cat is not vaccinated against rabies. Since there is currently no best way to deal with rabies, it is usually recommended that owners give their cats regular vaccinations. Usually try to keep the cat away from animals in the outside world, such as stray dogs, cats, bats, etc.

    Rabies is a contagious disease. The disease is mainly contracted through animal bites**, mucous membranes, etc. In addition, it is possible to pass through respiratory infection through accidental ingestion of meat from infected animals or aerosols.

    If the cat does not have the above-mentioned high-risk behaviors, it will generally not be infected with the rabies virus on its own.

    After the rabies virus enters the cat's body, the incubation period is generally 2-8 weeks, sometimes up to several months. The specific time of onset is mainly related to the bite site, the type of exposure, the amount of virus at the exposed site, and the immune status of the body. When cats show clinical signs, they often change their habits and often have a tendency to run away or hide.

    The course of the disease after the cat is infected with rabies virus is relatively short, generally 2-4 days after the appearance of symptoms, the sick cat likes to hide in the shadows, and makes a sharp cry, and then violently attacks humans and animals.

    The diagnosis of rabies is mainly fluorescent antibody detection and PCR detection, after the diagnosis of rabies virus, because it is impossible to **, it should be culled in time. The main prevention of rabies in cats is vaccination, and at present, cats can go to the pet hospital for rabies vaccination when they are about three months old. After rabies vaccination, antibodies against rabies virus can be produced, and when the antibody level is qualified, the cat has the ability to resist rabies virus, but it also needs to be strengthened in the later stage.

    No. The rabies virus cannot be made by dogs and cats themselves, nor can they survive in the outside world. Only dogs and cats that have been bitten by other mad animals at the onset of the disease can be infected with the rabies virus and infect humans during the onset period.

    After cats and dogs are infected with rabies virus, the incubation period is not more than half a year (refer to the Chinese disease control document "Technical Guidelines for Rabies Prevention and Control 2016 Edition"), so cats that have not been bitten and scratched by other animals for more than half a year are unlikely to be poisonous.
