New to the forum but have a question: How many people here have had to get rabies shots? Cat attacked me and the dog in the yard yesterday then ran off. Had to go to the ER because it ripped my leg wide open and they said that I needed to get rabies shots. Got the first set yesterday and have to keep going back every four days four more times to get three more shots each day. It's not very much fun but on the other hand, rabies is not much fun either. Guess cats with rabies is steadily on the rise but ER doc said that bats scratching people is the #1 cause of rabies in people. Can't figure out if the cat was really rabid or just psycho. I didn't even go up to the thing -- I was about 5 feet away and saying Here Kitty when it hissed and yowled and ran over and scratched me then bit me in the leg. Had to shake it off my leg. Then it ran off and hasn't been seen from since. How many of you would have gotten rabies shots? One of the weirdest things that has ever happened to me.
