Black and white cat on Berkeley

This B/W cat was wandering on Berkeley Pl. (6th - 7th Ave.) in early May – it looked as if it had recently been abandoned or lost. It was well-fed, clean and clearly domesticated rather than feral. Like many other people on our street, I was thinking about adopting it. I was petting it once and it bit me, and I saw the same happen to another guy with a stroller just in front of my window a few days later. I just thought that the cat was frightened and nervous, not being used to street life, so I didn’t think anything of it. However recently one of my medical colleagues told me that I should have watched the cat’s health for 10 days to make sure that it didn’t have rabies. Rabies does exist in NYC, and moreover, there’s no good reason to assume that this cat was originally from Brooklyn. It could have been come from any of the other boroughs or NY environs where rabies is prevalent.
Since I didn’t watch the cat for 10 days, I am now [size=18]extremely[/size] worried.
I would be incredibly grateful if the owner, anyone who adopted this cat, or anyone who knows where it is now would let me know that it is alive and well. I just want to know whether the cat is still healthy. Maybe the guy who was also bitten was more careful than me and reported the incident or watched the cat afterwards - if you are reading this post, any news would be welcome. It would really put my mind at rest – the rabies incubation period can be as long as a year, and I can’t worry any longer.
