Yes, cats can transmit certain diseases to humans, which are known as zoonotic diseases. Here are some examples:
- Cat Scratch Disease (CSD): Transmitted by scratches or bites from a cat infected with the Bartonella henselae bacteria.
- Toxoplasmosis: Spread through contact with cat feces containing the Toxoplasma gondii parasite.
- Ringworm: A contagious fungal infection that can spread through contact with an infected cat’s skin or fur.
- Rabies: Transmitted through bites from a rabid cat, though this is rare in areas with widespread rabies vaccination.
- Intestinal Parasites: Such as roundworms or hookworms, which can spread through contact with contaminated soil or feces.
These diseases are preventable with good hygiene, routine vet visits, and avoiding contact with potentially infected cats. Cats make wonderful companions, and with proper care, the risk of transmission is very low!
