Stray cats can transmit diseases such as toxoplasmosis, cat scratch fever, and rabies. It's essential to avoid direct contact and seek medical attention if scratched or bitten. Rabies is primarily transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal, usually via bites. It can also be transmitted if infected saliva comes into contact with open cuts or mucous membranes.
Next Steps
Seek medical attention if scratched or bitten. Immediate medical attention is crucial if exposed to a potentially rabid animal.

Not that easily u will get rabies .. see basically the rabies virus will be present in the saliva of infected animals .. remember the word infected ... so what's infection ... the animals which has not been vaccinated will be having these viruses .. and they will not pass on the food and it will reach ur stomach is kinda too much thinking 🤔.. jokes apart .. to be precise it's highly unlikely u will be getting rabies thru that mode .. but u can connect for detailed advice ..cheers :)
