Is it possible for your cats to get rabies and give it to you when both family and cats haven't left england worrying about it to much.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Calm thoughts: These are questions for your family veterinarian as well as healthtap. Your cats should be vaccinated against rabies on the schedule your vet recomm. You can't catch rabies without you yourself receiving a bite from a mammal with rabies (or a corneal transplant from someone with rabies, only literature example).

Can you get rabies after using a spoon that a non-pet cat licked? Sometimes we eat outside and I get paranoid at unattended utensils with cats around.
