Cats carry and spread disease. Feral cats are distemper and rabies carriers. House cats can be a threat to newborns.

Cats have a protein in their saliva that works as some kind of brain agent on humans and other species. It is an 'attractant' that makes the cat an irresistable object to whatever or whoever is affected. This explains a lot of the human fascination with cats.
