Because cats are also susceptible to rabies virus, it is highly recommended that we vaccinated them yearly. They can transfer the virus by biting, licking or scratching their owners. Rabies is a deadly disease that we should not take for granted. The vaccine will be injected intramuscularly by the veterinarian and would require superb restrain of the animal. As a responsible pet owner, keep your pet away from strays to minimize the risk of infection.
