Reply to comment by Ok-Slice-6743 in My cat: " what do you mean this chicken is not for me"? :D by CanarianGamer

If you have kids, or plan to have, your attitude will probably get them allergies. Hysteric exaggerated hygiene is harmful and will make your own immune system your worst enemy, people used to live with swine in the same space. Having your cat, the cleanest animal there is, walk everywhere, will definitely never cause you any harm.

Like what, seriously, do you think is going to happen? Cats and humans don't even share many pathogens that are harmful to both. I've had cats for 30 years and they go everywhere, sleep everywhere, I use the same plates for my food that I use for their food. I eat food that they licked. What is that supposed to give me? AIDS? Cancer?

For the record though, my cats are pure house cats. If they went outside, that's a different matter. Cats that go outside are frequently infested with parasites. Mine never had any.

You must not be aware of the fact that cats can get fungal infections and spread it to humans.
