Hello! A friendly stray cat touched my leg months ago and to my knowledge I had no wounds on my leg and it was just it's fur touching my shin. The cat is still alive today. (it touched my leg Like back in January of this year) and I keep mentally thinking "oh no what if I'm afraid of water" and i feel like the possible thought influences me lightly. Because a few times I find it hard to swallow. That's how the thought came to be because I was afraid to swallow and my mind immediately went to "rabies"  I know it's just irrational but it still just freaks me out. Thank you for listening!
