Oh by the way people can get heart worm from their animals and other diseases (tape worms). Feline Cat leukemia is contagious to humans. Get rid of the damn cat.

I had completely forgotten about a friend who died, years ago, from this! Must have been at least 30 years ago...she LOVED cats, handled them all the time, and actually died from feline leukemia.
