Please respond, overly anxious person scared about rabies??

[Textsfromthemoon319]

Okay so I know this is probably a stupid question but I have an anxiety disorder so sometimes I just need some outside help or opinions to shut my mind up

So basically the story goes: The other day a cat came up to the back of my house, she was meowing softly and walked right up to me, let me pet her, walked around before jumping out of the yard and walking away. She's faily large, a bit overweight probably, definitely looks well-fed, so I'm assuming she's someone's cat?

Anyway, so she came back today same as before, she was meowing softly to me, walking around, being playful and scratching on the wood of our deck like a scratching post, eventually she crawled under the deck, I went under just to make sure she was okay, like I said she's fairly tubby and I didnt want her to get stuck anywhere she shouldn't, so as I went under I reached my hand out to her and she scratched at it and hissed. I think she must have felt cornered under there with a strange person coming at her? She exhibited no other aggressive behavior and calmed right down when I backed up, my mom spotted her a bit later sitting on a rock just chilling in another part of the yard.

However, I was left with two tiny scratches on my hand and a horrible fear that I will somehow contract rabies from this encounter. I'm just wondering what the possibility of this or realistic concern I should be having? Any information on rabies or my situation would be extremely appreciated

They only way you are in danger of contacting rabies is from saliva due to a BITE, never from a scratch so rest easy

Not rabies.But I guess some therapy would be helpful for you.

Or medical care for the anxiety, maybe
