Thiis is heartbreaking news. I did look up rabies in cats and found that
there are different stages of the disease. There are a lot of animals that he
could have contracted the disease from including bats.

It sounded like a hectic day at the Vet's office today. Maybe you could get a chance to
talk to the Vet again later on tomorrow or when there's not so much going on there.
She should be able to explain why she feels the way she does about the diagnosis.
