I have defeated the rabies fear... at least for the bats.

One time, a cat was visiting our windows and was just sitting there. It became a regular occurence. My family gave the outside cat some food from the window. A few days later, I was expecting to fully get rid of the rabies fear! Except... it all started back when my family put a pillow to keep the window open and now the pillow may have been contaminated with saliva. "Oh, the cat is most likely healthy. It could jump accurately on to the window." But one time, I have seen the cat while eating grass, digging and sometimes rolling around jerkily. The worried me thought it was too restless to be normal behavior. There was no drooling, dropped jaw or dilated pupils though. No signs of a fight either but there are a few dogs in the area that can be aggressive. (not necessarily rabid, pretty unlikely actually) I was afraid that it was rabies behavior and not just me, but everyone in my family would get infected. I also have some non-bleeding wounds on my hands due to the skin picking habit, and even if I wasn't having that, I scratched myself on to the water bottle's plastic flashing (not related to cat scratches) The weather was also pretty cold but there was no rain or snow. I did not have direct contact with the cat but I may have had indirect contact via the pillow and some other fomites.
