No. If the cat is a pet, it can be a rabies carrier despite it being vaccinated. You can protect your self by taking Rabipure vaccine on 0,7 and 20 the day which can protect you for min 3. Years. Cats very rarely bite but they tend to scratch. They clean their feet by licking and if they are carriers can tranmit infection.
