Cats' journeys hint at lurking risks
A recent study has found that cats that roam outside the home are three to five times more likely to transmit zoonotic diseases—illnesses shared between humans and animals—due to exposure to wildlife and contaminated environments. The risks include toxoplasmosis, worms, and parasites, which can be transmitted to humans directly or indirectly, especially in the cases of pregnant women and immunocompromised individuals. Researchers recommend limiting cats' outdoor activities without supervision and ensuring they are properly vaccinated and receive veterinary care to reduce the risk of disease transmission.
