I know that bats carry rabies at times. Even though our cat is vaccinated, should I be concerned if the cat regularly trots into the house with dead bats in her mouth?
Keep her up to date on her vaccine, this should help .
What are you going to do about the cat catching bats? If she's an outdoor cat, you can't just keep her locked up. I'd be more concerned about why there's so many bats for her to catch ...
Make sure she's vaccinated. Try to get rid of the bats around your house as they can be a health hazard to you as well. I'm sure your kitty will be okay as long as she isn't eating them. Our cat is indoor and outdoor as well and I would rather have her love life outside even though she's not completely safe than be bored, safe and fat inside.
If she is vaccinated, she probably won't get rabies. Don't destroy the bats ! They are the best insect killers there are. Try to keep the cat away from the bats. Actually, the best place for your cat is inside. You can't get rabies from anything by just touching it.
Bats are high carriers of rabies. If she is catching and killing them I would be very concerned. She is more likely to catch rabies from them than rats. I suggest getting an exterminator to get rid of the bats if you can.
I would be . I'd be concerned about other diseases that she could get from the bats, not just rabies.
