So I was scratched by a stray kitten a few days ago and I didn’t put much thought into it. I was feeding them and wanted to pet the cute little thing and it scratched me probably out of defense. It did scratch me pretty good and even made me bleed a bit. The kitten looked perfectly fine and healthy at that time and continues to be fine right now, 3 days after the incident. I feed it and 2 other kittens along with the mom everyday so they probably won’t leave anymore. They live in my garage and I don’t know where they came from, considering I live out in the woods in the mountains. All the cats at this moment look healthy and fine. I’m very sure these cats do not belong to anyone. They are stray cats and very likely not rabies vaccinated. I’m also a very paranoid person and I did research and found out rabies isn’t a fun disease to mess with. According to google, rabies is only transmitted when the animal is showing obvious symptoms. So how much risk I’m I at? I was gonna keep observing them for a couple more days to see if the one that scratched me or any of them get sick. I’m not too worried since they look perfectly fine, but considering they are stray cats and there’s a lot of possums and stunks where I live. It got me thinking. What do y’all think? Thanks and have a blessed one
