causes the development of inflammation of the brain (meningoencephalitis), and
also causes damage and destruction of nerve cells.
Rabiesvirus is transmitted to cats from sick animals through
biological fluids – blood and saliva. Main carriers –
small rodents, foxes, badgers, wolves and other wild animals.
Infection can occur in the following situations:
• the cat has eaten or chewed on a rabid mouse, rat, or
another small animal;
• a pet has bitten an infected animal (when bitten by a cat’s blood
saliva is added, which contains the virus);
• saliva got into wounds and scratches on the cat’s body
