The cat had died like 4 days or more i dont know but then i started tinking if maybe the cat had died of rabies and if it was kil by a car maybe traces of nerve tessue where liying around the animal or if after some day the cat exploded because here its hot like 24celcius everyday and that maked dead animals explode so my fear its that when i walked near the animal maybe some virus could have gone under my shoe then when i got home i walked in my carpet and then whit my sooks transfer the virus to my beed and to my pillow to my face and finally to my mouth eyes or some cut i had in my body so should i be worried?can that be possible?

You can only contract rabies from the bite of a LIVING mammal infected with the disease.
The rabies virus is short-lived when exposed to open air—it can ONLY survive in saliva and dies when the animal's saliva dries up. After this cat died, so did the virus. You had no risk whatsoever.
