@back_2_you: Rabies is a viral disease transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. Cats are considered the animals most susceptible to rabies, which attacks the central nervous system, causing a variety of symptoms. Therefore, you should ensure your cats are vaccinated against rabies, even if they remain indoors. Avoid contact with stray cats and seek immediate medical attention if bitten. I'm not preventing you from keeping cats and dogs, but I'm educating you about vaccinating them and not letting them roam the streets. This isn't for any other reason than your health and the health of your children.
