things like giardia are zoonotic, meaning that we can catch from them and vice versa - many parasites are like that. But, exactly, not these retroviruses. If you want to search you can google zoonotic diseases. another example is rabies, obviously zoonotic.

There are a lot of illnesses that can be transmitted between animals and humans, incluiding a lot of different types of colds. Here's a nice long list to scare yourself with: http://svmweb.vetmed.wisc.edu/pbs/zoonoses/ If the animals and the people are basically healthy it's not much of an issue. But with cats with compromised immune systems, whether they are kittens or elderly or FIV+ or FeLV+ or dealing with cancer, then they are more susceptible to all sorts of things. --- On Wed, 1/19/11, CATHERINE DIDONNA <[email protected]> wrote: > From: CATHERINE DIDONNA <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Can Humans Make FELV+ cats sick? > To: [email protected] > Date: Wednesday, January 19, 2011, 11:32 AM > no,we can't make them sick > > --- On Wed, 1/19/11, Stephanie (Merkel) Sherry <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > From: Stephanie (Merkel) Sherry <[email protected]> > Subject: [Felvtalk] Can Humans Make FELV+ cats sick? > To: [email protected] > Date: Wednesday, January 19, 2011, 2:24 PM > > > Just wondering if anyone knows if humans who are sick with > a cold, the flu, etc > can make a FELV+ cat sick.
