BTW - can you use one of the other cat's rabies certificate if you have to? Some cats look alike or maybe they don't describe them in some states.....

I ended up in the ER and they said had I not come in, it could have killed me. Get to the ER and when asked whose cat just tell them yours and the cat has its shots. They never asked for proof of rabies on my cat, no one ever came to my house or called me nor did they even ask the cat's name. But, DO go to the doctor or ER ASAP. That is nothing to play around with. I was at the ER until 4:30 am getting IV antibiotics.
