Can I get rabies from kissing someone who has just been bitten by a stray cat? He got the first dose of vaccine in less then 24 hours but then he spent the night at my place. I also got the post vaccines done recently, the last dose I had was in january. He could?t have given me the virus in the incubation period anyway right?

Rabies is transmitted through dog bites, cats has very low risk of transferring rabies, vaccines should be given on 1, 3,7 and 14th day respectively, if he did not got pre exposure vaccine, he should get both hrig and rabies vaccine. Anyway you are at very lesser risk, but since you received post exposure vaccine, you need not have to worry.
