I hope someone has told you NOT to blame this on a stray. Blame it on the cat you have the updated rabies on. As long as you have the updated rabies it should be ok. (even if that's not the cat who bit you!) t

Try not to implicate any of your cats because most hospitals have to report it and most insurances will question your claims. I know my health insurance called to see who the cat belonged to etc. She quite literally was a feral with no owner and no known hang out. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.
