well, i came back to post.
now, i have reasons to be afraid of cats.
don't get bitten by a cat.
there is a virus within cats called F.I.V.(Feline Immumodeficiency Virus)
its simillar to AIDs.
FIV is a retrovirus in the same family as the human AIDS virus,
with a few significant differences.
It is estimated that in the United States,
2% of cats are infected with the FIV virus.
Saliva to blood (biting) is the primary source of spreading the virus,
and it is unlikely (but not impossible) that cats will spread FIV by drinking or eating out of the same food dish,
or by mutual grooming.
It is not surprising that outdoor cats are particularly susceptible to the virus,
and the best way to prevent infection with FIV virus is to ensure that your cat stays indoors. which eliminates the possibility of contact with FIV cats.
Another, less common means of transmission is from the mother cat (Queen) to her kittens during gestation,
during birth,
or by nursing.
There is comfort in the fact that not all FIV queens pass the virus on to their kittens.
This phenomenon is not fully understood,
but all kittens from FIV mothers should be tested for the FIV antibodies after six months.
So, stay away from cats:D
