You will not get rabies if you are scratched by a kitten. Rabies can only be transmitted when a sick cat or dog hurts a person. Healthy cats and dogs do not carry the rabies virus, nor are they transmitted through their mothers. And kittens have maternal antibodies within two months and can be considered safe. If you are scratched by a kitten, you should immediately disinfect the wound. Wash the wound with soapy water for more than 15 minutes, then apply iodine and medicinal alcohol repeatedly and alternately, and disinfect it 2-3 times. Do not bandage or paste the wound afterwards. Just put it on so that the wound is fully exposed.

What to do if you are scratched by a cat:

1. Clean the affected area. In daily life, if the human body is slightly red and swollen after being scratched by a cat, the affected skin can be cleaned with soapy water under the advice of a doctor. After the skin is kept dry, medical iodine can be used for disinfection.

2. Apply medicine. If you are scratched by a cat and fail to seek medical treatment in time, bacteria and other bacteria can invade the body through the skin of the affected area, causing some redness and swelling after being scratched by a cat. Erythromycin ointment, mupirocin ointment, compound polymyxin B ointment and other drugs can be applied under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.

3. Inject vaccines. If the cat scratches you and causes serious redness and swelling, you can inject rabies vaccine into the skin as directed by your doctor to prevent rabies.
