Quick question about cats. If a cat is infected with rabies,

You can't get rabies from scratches.

Also: Google.

Googled it and nothing about incubation in cats. And she bites me too, not lately but bit me a few times.

>The average incubation period of rabies in cats is two months but may vary from two weeks to several months or even more, depending on the dose of virus transmitted and the severity and site of the wound.

How hard is it to type "incubation cats rabies" into google?

You're fine. Rabies in kittens would be extremely rare. When cats get rabies, its from fighting an infected cat or animal(usually a wild animal like skunk or raccoon).

Go get your kitten checked out anyway since its common for them to carry parasites or other highly contagious cat-specific diseases.

Plenty of wild animals where it grew up till 6 weeks. That's when I took him in. I'm more worried if his mother could've had rabies and transmitted it to him by licking.

Rabies is blood borne. The mother could not transmit it to her baby by licking. The kitten would also have died, since the mother would not have been able to give birth if she had rabies before, and if she'd contracted it after giving birth she wouldn't have nursed the kitten.

Take your kitten to the vet, I bet you haven't even dewormed him yet.

No vets in the area... of around 150 km. Live in a shitty 5th world country. I even have to vaccinate him myself. And I know the dangers and stuff but I simply have no choice.

Wut. No it's not. Rabies is only transmitted via saliva.

Oh, that sucks. You have dewormed him though? Make sure you get the three way vaccine and rabies if possible. If he's going outside, give him feline leukemia too.

He probably doesn't have rabies because again, his mother would probably have killed or neglected him so try not to worry.

You're right, I was misinformed. The infected animal still has to bite or lick a mucous membrane though.

If the mom had rabies she would have needed to co tract it late into the weaning stage. A rabid animal would have a terrible birth, and would not take care of their young.

Not rabies.

But you are probably mildly allergic to cats if pic related is your hand

Fun fact!
Despite being the highest percentage carrier of rabies in the US, it's incredily rare to get rabies from rats because they bite with their incisors, which are set too far foward and don't really get saliva on them.
