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.
Can I get rabies from a cat bite?

Can a cat get and infect to people rabies if they have a rabies shotAsk us anything?
If a cat has a rabies shot after it has already become infected with rabies, the shot will be ineffective and the cat can infect people despite having been vaccinated. If the cat receives its rabies shot while it is healthy, and if the shot is effective (which it is nearly all the time), then the cat cannot catch rabies and cannot infect a human. However, a very small number of rabies shots (about one in 100,000) is not effective. Note that the rabies vaccine can lose effectiveness if it is mishandled. In almost all cases, if the original shot is ineffective, the booster shot corrects it.
Does cat naturally have rabies or does it come from another source?
No, a cat does not "naturally" have rabies; it is a disease that is transmitted from other infected animals, almost always through a bite. However, being bitten by a rabid animal does not necessarily mean that the bitten animal will become infected. Humans, cats, and dogs are only mildly susceptible to the disease.

Do baby bunny's have rabies?
All raccoons do not have rabies, and they are not born with it. A dog or cat, if not vaccinated, is just as susceptible to rabies as a raccoon. Raccoons must be exposed to the saliva of an infected animal, in order to contract rabies. So a baby raccoon, also known as a kit, will only have rabies if exposed to an animal with rabies.
