Itâs transmitted through the saliva a few days before death when the animal âshedsâ the virus. Rabies is not transmitted through the blood, urine, or feces of an infected animal, nor is it spread airborne through the open environment. Because it affects the nervous system, most rabid animals behave abnormally.
The direct fluorescent antibody test is the most accurate test for diagnosis, but it can only be performed after the death of the animal. The rabies virus can incubate in a catâs body anywhere from just one week to more than a year before the virus appears in the saliva and the cat is capable of transmitting the disease.
