How deep should the wound be in order to get rabies?

i have 2 house cats at home(no anti rabies shots yets). if they lightly scrapped off my skin using their teeth, do i have rabies? what if they scratched me using their claws, do i have rabies? and when i was eating lunch and left the room, they ate my food and left saliva in my food. when i went back and continued eating and finished my meal thats the only time i noticed they did what they did. do i have rabies? and can i have anti-rabies shots even if i didnt have rabies in the first place, will that have any sideeffects?

Why are you so worried about your cats having rabies? You most likely would know IF they did have it. {and they wouldn't have it long before they died}

Many cats go without a rabies shot, especially if they are mostly indoor cats. Since the majority of people don't even bother getting their cats spayed/neutered I doubt that many have rabies shots unless a vet tells them it is a problem disease in their area.

A far likelier scenario is getting cat scratch fever from their claws, especially if they are outside cats or if "insiders" if their litter boxes are not kept clean.

I suggest that you take your cats to the vet for their shots and discuss your phobia of rabies with him, the vet knows the likelihood of you contracting it from your cats b/c he will know if there are many active rabies cases in your area.

Shouldn't ask this question here, you should get to a hospital or w/e and immediately get shots. They cant hurt you and they will 100% prevent rabies.

If they bite you and break the skin and they have rabies, so could you. Animals will need to be checked for rabies just to be sure.

you probably wouldn't get rabies from a cat unless they got into a fight with an animal outside that had rabies. if it didn't draw blood you definitely don't have rabies.
