    Yes. You don't have rabies.

    you are safe because that pet cat does not have rabies or it would have died years ago. An animal doesnt spontaneously have rabies, its a virus it has to get from something with it--pretty unlikely here

    Go see a doctor and ask for advice. If the cat is not showing symptoms then you should be okay. But it is better safe than sorry. If you start showing symptoms, then it would be too late. Google or bing rabies symptoms.
