Answer 1

SIGNS:
Foaming of the mouth
Hydrophobia (fear of water)
Fever
Depression
Confusion (more than usual +LOL+)
Sensitivity to touch, light, and loud noise
CAUSE:
Rabies is caused by a rod-or bullet-shaped virus in the family Rhabdoviridae. The virus is usually transmitted via an animal bite, however, cases have also been reported in which the virus penetrated the body through infected saliva, moist tissues such as the eyes or lips, a scratch on the skin, or the transplantation of infected tissues. Inhalation of the virus in the air, as might occur in a highly populated bat cave, is also thought to occur.

If you are absolutely sure that the cat has not been outside and has not been exposed to animals that go out then it is pretty much impossible for him to have rabies. Cats bite for many reasons, fear, annoyance, anger, showing dominence, and just because. The only tests for rabies are to keep the cat confined for a period of 10 days to 2 weeks to make sure it does not become ill with the symptoms you read about or to have it killed and its brain examined. The US Centers for Disease Control says that while rabies may take months to manifest in an animal the only time it is contagious (and the only time the animal will act sick) is after the disease has moved into the animals brain and saliva. Then usually within 3-5 days it will be very obvious that the animal is sick with the symptoms you read about. If the cat does start to show thise sympoms in the next few days then you do have to take it to a vet and it does have to be tested even though that means putting it to sleep which is actually kinder than letting it gon through a horrible death from rabies so that you can find out of you need the human prevenataive rabies treatments so that you do not get sick and die. It would be very good for your cat - both cats - to go to the vet and get his shots and for you to consider having him neutered because it will help calm him, stop him from territory marking (peeing or spraying) in your home, make him less likely to become aggressive with you and with your other cat and help him be less likely to get the idea of running out sometime when you open the door and not coming back or getting very sick if he did get out and get into a fight or was exposed to another animal who was sick. I'm glad you rescued him and gave him a good home and that you understand and accept his not being a cuddly kitty. He is blessed to have you.

Rabies (Latin, rabies, "madness, rage, fury") is a viral zoonotic disease that causes acute encephalitis in mammals. In non-vaccinated humans, rabies is almost invariably fatal after neurological symptoms have developed, but prompt post-exposure vaccination may prevent the virus from progressing.

A lot of preventions, diagram, symptons etc. are also listed on the following web:

I know that they have to be from the Levi tribe..tribe of Aaron. I think the Cohens (Kohanim) can be rabies and the Levis can be Ashers.
