Ragdoll Cat

　　Cats and dogs belong to the same transmission chain. If scratched by a cat, the wound should be treated promptly, and depending on the situation, hospital treatment may be necessary. Because rabies can spread among animals within 3 minutes, it is recommended to go to a vaccination station to receive a rabies vaccine within 24 hours after timely wound treatment to prevent serious consequences.

　　Methods to treat cat scratches: wash the wound with 20% soapy water for about 30 minutes, then disinfect with iodine, and repeatedly wash three times with alcohol.

　　The incubation period for rabies is generally about 10 days, but it can also develop after several years. PetsZone recommends that once scratched by a cat, you should immediately go to the vaccination station to get vaccinated and must not harbor any luck-based mentality. If the wound is severe, doctors will suggest using antiviral serum. (Source：PetsZone)
