Yes, you can contract rabies from an infected cat. Rabies is a virus that can infect almost any mammal and is spread through the saliva, so if you are bitten by a rabid cat you can contract rabies.

∙ 11y agoNormally, it requires saliva to transmit rabies, but you should check with a doctor if you are scratched, or especially bitten, by an unfamiliar or atypically vicious cat. In the vast majority of cases, there is no cause for alarm, but deep bites or scratches require a tetanus shot at the very least.

Do it gets a risk of rabies of a cat scratch?
It is unlikely. Rabies is caught by the transfer of bodily fluids, and if an infected cat bites you, you may get rabies from his saliva. In order to catch rabies from a cat scratch, the cat must have bodily fluids on his claws, which is unlikely unless his feet are bleeding for some reason. If a cat gets into a fight with a rabid cat, and then scratches you when you try to separate them, it is possible that the rabid cat's blood can get into the scratch.

Only if the cat had just licked it's paw. Rabies is transmitted through the saliva. I'm pretty sure the skin has to be broken, though. But be careful!! You could get cat scratch disease from it.
