Do i have rabies?

Hey everybody, this has really been stressin me out 4 like 3 months now n might b kinda long. I thought i was over it but im right bk to it. Ok so i was bit by my ex cat on december 31. I picked him up from her brother on like the 28th n he was real affectionate n the car. Now whn i got to my house he didnt wanna *** n n she told me to grab him by his neck n he started growling. So i left him outside n he came to the door round late that night and i fed him n he laid on my bed. I tried to move him from the bed to the couch n before i culd even get him up he tried to bite me but i had a glove on n thn he scratched on my face.i put him bk outside. I didnt see him again til the 31  but i was gon on most of the 30th n all til. When i came bk on 31st he ran up to me so i took him n to feed him again he ate thn layed on the bed again. When i tried to move him he bit me this time he actualy did bit and scratch me and was kinda deep. I didnt think much of but i put him out and washed the wound. First i put alcohol on it thn started washing wit soap but only for like a minute. Now i went to the er cus i had a fever the next day. They told me it had that cat scratch thing but didnt wanna treat me for rabies whn i asked. Sayin its for nasty shots im sure u dont want that. Even though the cat was 3 months past due on his shots n only had the 1st shot at 4 to 6 months i think. By the time of January 20 i started to worry n went to the er again n they still didnt wanna give me the shot. Sayin if i had it i wuld b dead by now n that it havent been a rabies cases n the kansas city area for a long time.  Even the health department said they culdnt do nuthn without gettin 1st shot from er. So after this anxiety started to set n along wit insomnia due to my heart beatin too fast and adrenaline. After a while i went to another er n told them n they didnt wanna treat me n made me feel crazy even put me out cus i kinda went off. thn bout a month later i noticed when the fan was on while i layed down my heart started beatin fast...whn i turned it off it slowed down. Thats aerophobia aint it? I had a real bad stomach pain after c n that logan movie on march 5th n had 2 **** liquid a few times n thro up round 3 n the mornin. After time i was thinkin it was stomach flu r food poisoning thn pancreas problems. A week later i felt a sever pain on my left side which is wat i feel at night sum time whn my adrenaline go off i think.. went to er cus i felt light headed n light i culd pass out. They didnt think much of it even tho my neutrophils was at 39% n leukocytes were at 50%.  Went to dr next day n also a couple days ago n neutrophils was 44% n so was leukocyte  i Slept coo 4 a few days again but i think i had the fan off thn this past wk is whn i really started payin attention after drinkin water in another er due to abdominal pain my heart started beatin fast. When i got home..same thing wit the fan. Couldnt sleep really for next few days cus of this n even felt like instead of dreaming i was hallucinating. Cus i wuld react to what was goin on n it wuldnt last long. Ik this was long but i wanted yall 2 kno all that was goin on n also another person out there that might b experiencing the same stuff. My symptoms have been anxiety, insomnia restlessness, nausea n vomitting for a day, fever that lasted 2 days, abdominal pain, n i feel that i have an internal fear of air n water..cus it causes my heart to beat faster and after a while my adrenaline goes off.  Any comment helps.

How is the cat doing now? Rabies will generally kill a cat within 10 days of it showing symptoms, it kills them very quickly. If the cat is still alive and behaving normally all these months later it's not likely it has rabies.
