Unfortunately, My cat is the one of those 6 months quarantine. It has been 4 months SO far. She looks the same, and still eating well, very active and affective. She may be free less than 6 months so one month left to go. :crossedfingers
I did not expect that Bat was in our house. *oh no* She was chasing, and trying to bite or scratch the bat. The tiny bat and the cat opened their mouth and staring and hissing at each other. For one secnd, I could not tell which one is mine.
Both of them are BLACK but obviously, my kitty is bigger than the bat. I never saw her being bitten by a bat or she bit the bat but they were too close face to face. I made another mistake that I set the bat free. I should had kept the bat and would know if bat had rabies or not.
The worse thing is that she was late for a rabies shot, only couple of months later. The Vet had to follow the rule so they called the health dept about it. The health dept gave me the three choices.
One, place her to the animal hospital for 6 months
two, lock her in the cage in my house.
third, Put her down.
Of course I was very upset and could not able to make decision on those choices all night then the next morning. My hubby suggested if i can ask the health dept if i can make my kitty to stay in the room without a cage. Luckily, The health dep approved that my kitty can stay in the room. I kicked my son out of the play room where the vidoe games were and had put my kitty there. She has been there for 4 months so far. I pray hard that she is still FINE until 6 months but hope she may be free less than 6 months. According to my health dept stated that if she gets another rabies shot then may be free less than 6 months.
so anyone of you ever had experience like this.. It has been a HECTIC experience for me. I feed cats separately and the litterbox separately. I cant wait all of this nigthmare to be over soon!
