A startled cat running wild is not necessarily rabies. Although rabies does cause abnormal behavior in cats, there are other possibilities. For example, a cat who is bitten by a flea will feel very uncomfortable and may run away in an attempt to get rid of the fleas.

In addition, there are diseases in the cat’s brain, such as infection, poisoning or tumors, etc. , which may also cause them to run wildly from start to finish. Therefore, if your cat is showing similar symptoms, it is best to take him to the veterinarian for a thorough examination to determine the specific cause.
