A bunch of people are lucky the diagnosis was made. Rabies is way down the list of ways I would want to go. I always steer clear of stray and feral cats.

After Stanley’s death, USDA wildlife biologists spent 10 days trapping and vaccinating animals — 753 raccoons, 41 skunks, four feral cats and one red fox — in an area about 61 miles around where the kitten was found.
They were totally remiss if they didn't euthanize a large percentage of those animals before giving them the vaccine so that they could do an analysis of the likelihood of current further spread.

My wife and I and another couple were leaving a bar in West End Bahamas and there was a kitten meowing under a pallet...the other wife tried to get the kitten to come out from under the pallet and it wouldn't so she leaned in and her husband reached to grab her arm to keep her drunk arse from touching that kitten and the damned thing attacked him LOL...he was screaming like a little girl and flailing around and that thing was hanging on like grim death. He finally managed to fling it off and it hit the gorund on its side and neck, bounced and was graveyard dead...its neck broken. Needless to say we were all pretty freaked out and he was bleeding like crazy. We went back to the condo, cleaned the wound up, and went to bed because we were headed back to Stuart the next morning. When we got back to Stuart he decided he was going to go to his doctor and let him look at the cat bite. It was an EXPENSIVE doctors visit...he had to be treated for possible rabies exposure. Cost a bunch and by all accounts very painful. He didn't frick with that kitten but that kitten sure fricked with him....
