The symptoms of rabies in cats can generally be divided into several stages. In the early stages, cats may exhibit abnormal behavior, such as fatigue, hyperactivity, or becoming irritable and experiencing sudden changes in their lifestyle. Next, they may wander off, become indifferent to their owners, or even exhibit aggressive behavior.

In the later stages, cats may exhibit symptoms such as fear of water and sound, become particularly sensitive to light or odors, and may experience muscle spasms and drooling. They may also become more aggressive.
