Whether a cat that has not been out of the house will have rabies depends on several factors.
First of all, rabies is a contagious disease, and the virus is mainly found in animals that become ill or infected and die. If there are no other pets or creatures carrying the rabies virus, such as mice, there is a risk that a cat can get rabies even if it does not go out.
Secondly, the rabies virus does not fall from the sky, nor is it made by cats and dogs themselves, and it cannot be transmitted from mother to child in the real environment. Cats and dogs, like people, can only be infected with rabies virus if they are bitten and scratched by mad animals in the outside world. After infection, the incubation period of rabies virus in cats and dogs is less than half a year (clearly stated in the Chinese disease control document "Technical Guidelines for Rabies Prevention and Control 2016 Edition"), and rapid death within 10 days after onset. Therefore, it is determined that cats and dogs that have not been out of the house for more than half a year (that is, have not been attacked by mad animals) are healthy cats and dogs that cannot be poisoned.
However, there is also an opinion that even if a cat does not go out all the time, it is possible to have rabies. This is because the rabies virus can be spread through the air as well as by contact. If there are other pets or creatures such as rats in the home that carry the rabies virus, cats can be infected even if they don't go out.
Therefore, if you are concerned about whether your cat has rabies, the best course of action is to take it to the pet hospital regularly to get vaccinated against the rabies virus. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that the living environment is clean in daily life, so as to reduce the possibility of cat diseases. Because the cat's hygiene is good, it is usually not infected with rabies. If you are accidentally bitten or scratched by another animal, you should immediately rinse the wound with soapy water and go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
Overall, while cats that don't go out all the time are less likely to have rabies, that doesn't mean they're completely safe. Therefore, cat owners should pay attention to precautions and regularly take their cats to the pet hospital for check-ups and vaccinations. At the same time, if you are bitten or scratched by other animals, you should seek medical attention immediately and take corresponding preventive and ** measures. This minimizes the likelihood of rabies and protects the health and safety of yourself and your pet.
