My cat is skittish only by the backdoor. Could it be rabies?

Question

It kind of actually scared me when i asked if Rabies would cause my cat to not wanna be by my backdoor without being skittish/jumpy but fine around everywhere else in my house. And i was told yes, so im asking again. Could it 50-100% be a case of rabies? Wouldnt she be acting weird all over my house? Or be showing other signs by now? We also have fires going on..... she was sitting by the bsckdoor fine, then it was like something scared her within the time i saw her to in the afternoon of Friday

Rabies typically presents with severe neurologic signs and aggression. The type of thing you are describing simple sounds like fear. While it may be out of the ordinary, I would not jump to the conclusion of Rabies unless you have a good reason to believe this is the case. If your kitty is not Rabies vaccinated, I implore you to have this done as soon as possible particularly if its an outdoor cat. Hope this helps.
