Rabies can only survive outside of a host animal for a very short time, and is only spread through saliva during the end stages of the disease when the animal wouldn't be eating anyway. If by some chance the cats carried rabies and nibbled at your food, then they are not yet at a point in the disease to shed virus, so you should be safe on that regard at least. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
