I came home yesterday morning after spending the night at my BFs and found a bat in my living room behind a bit of furniture. Nico brought my attention to it, he was pawing at it a bit and it was making angry squeaks. I trapped it and just dropped it off to be rabies tested this morning but I am very paranoid. Nico has had all his shots and his last rabies was only 3 months ago. I don't know if he got bit or scratched- he didn't seem to have any injuries, the bat seemed un-chewed (i didn't see any blood), and Nico is acting normally. Still, I worry. I hope he at worst got a few paw shots in on the bat and thats how it got trapped behind the furniture.
Are rabies shots really effective for cats? Like 100%? I already talked to the vet and they said I didn't need to bring him in for any preventative care. I'm going to call them back in a few days if the bat comes back positive (really praying it doesn't).
Looking fo reassurance I guess, and anyone who knows how effective the vaccine is!
