Cats can get rabies. Rabies is usually caused by the rabies virus, which is transmitted through the saliva of animals. Therefore, if you have a pet cat, it is best to keep it away from stray animals to prevent it from getting rabies.
If an owner is accidentally bitten or scratched by a cat with rabies, they must first wash the wound with plenty of water, then disinfect it, and get a rabies vaccine as soon as possible.
