I think the cat might have been sick or something because it lost patches of fur. I forgot to wash my hands after and then i pet my cat. I didnt touch either my house cat or the stray cat’s saliva, so i don’t think i can give my cat rabies. But can other diseases be transfered by touch?
this was only a few days ago, and my cat isn’t showing symptoms. if i take him to the vet then what can he do?
