I know this is the anxiety talking, but my cat is drooling more than normal this evening and I've managed to convince myself he has rabies and has given it to me.

I know that no-one's acquired rabies in the UK for over 100 years, so I'm being totally ridiculous (especially as I thought I had tetanus last week!), but I'm still feeling very scared. My anxiety has been far, far worse in the last few weeks and I've just read that increased anxiety can be a symptom of rabies.

If it were 10am on a weekday, I'd take the cat to the vet to get him checked out, but at 9.30pm on a Saturday night, there's not a lot I can do.
