Will I get rabies from cat scratch two months ago?

I got scratched by our adopted cat almost two and a half months ago. I did not have an antirabies vaccine back then. The cat is still fine now. No signs and symptoms of rabies. Is it possible that I may still develop it after few more months? :(

P.S. I was bitten by our neighbor's dog last Monday and I am currently on antirabies vaccine regimen.

Hi Cindy,
Rabies is only transmitted by the bite of a rabies infected animal
So NO to your cat--it was a scratch....and 2 1/2 months ago.


Good you got the rabies vaccine for the neighbors dog because that was a strange dog, and a bite.
