Intro: Feline-to-Human Transmission

Though this is not a common problem, a small number of illnesses (called zoonoses) can be transmitted from cats to people, and an even smaller number of human illnesses can be aggravated by felines. This is rarely a concern for healthy adults; however, in some circumstances it can be of special concern to pregnant women, children, and the immunosuppressed.

Quirk BooksThe Cat Owner's Manual is a basic guide to cat care.
The book was written by a celebrated veterinarian and an acclaimed author. It provides cat owners with well-researched and helpful information presented in a lighthearted manner. The creators chose to write the book in a style similar to what you'd find in "operating instructions" for a car or computer. Of course they--and we--respect the fact that our beloved pets are not products or machines!
