Reply #11: if the cat came out of nowhere and acted aggressively [View All]

[sui generis]

and bit you then you should be worried. Do you recall if it had visible teats? Sometimes a pregnant cat or new mother can be very hostile and aggressive if you are near her den.

If you were trying to pick the cat up or play with it and it bit you, it's highly unlikely the aggression was caused by rabies.

Sometimes cats that are outside just freak out after a bit, even when they're friendly at first, including friendly inside cats who have gotten out.
