Cats co-occupy one third of all residences in the United States. As
common household pets, they serve as sources of joy and companionship for
their owners. However, feline ownership also comes with its own inherent risks,
as cats can transmit an array of diseases to their owners, ranging from trivial
to fatal ailments. By understanding the pathogenesis of cat-associated diseases,
owners and their pets can live together with little risk of disease transmission.
This article reviews cat-related diseases, with an emphasis on their prevention
and management.
