Can a normal dog or cat carry the rabies virus?

Normal domestic cats do not have rabies virus. For a normal domestic cat to have the rabies virus, it needs to be bitten by a sick animal with rabies, after which the cat will carry the rabies virus and will quickly develop and die. At present not only dogs are required to be vaccinated against rabies, but also urban domestic cats are required to be vaccinated against rabies, so it is basically rare to have a cat with the rabies virus.
