Conditions Humans And Cats Have In Common
There are many conditions cats can have that can’t be passed from cat to human, such as feline leukemia and feline mesothelioma. There are some diseases that can be passed from cats to humans, they are called feline zoonoses (Cat Human Disease). I was curious how many diseases could be passed from cat to human so I did some reading. While there is no one authoritative answer, the concensus is that there are five feline zoonoses that cat owners should be aware of - toxoplasmosis, tuberculosis, bacterial enteritis, skin problems and rabies. The most common way disease can be spread is through fleas, a scratch or a bite.
