Scratch from a cat, even from a little kitten can carry 'cat scratch disease'--a bacterial infection. So you should be careful.

Yes, cats are usually agitated and scratch humans, so it is likely that rabies will be spread through their scratched person. A vaccine for cats is available that prevents rabies in cats.

Yes, however it’s unlikely and rare. Rabies usually spreads by a bite and the Chance of it being transmitted through a scratch is low.

People usually get rabies from the bite of a rabid animal. It is also possible, but rare, for people to get rabies from non-bite exposures, which can include scratches, abrasions, or open wounds that are exposed to saliva or other potentially infectious material from a rabid animal.

While rabies transmission through scratches is rare, it's theoretically possible if the cat has saliva containing the virus on its claws. It's crucial to promptly clean any cat scratch thoroughly and seek medical attention if you suspect exposure to rabies.
