Question - Which are the cat diseases or infections who can be

Rabies, Ringworm, Chlamydia, Roundworms, Hookworms
That is about all I can think of.

There was a recent inquiry about diseases borne by cats. There is an
article in the Journal of the American Medical Association Volume 287(20),
the most current issue on "Cat Scratch Diseases" which may add to the
response already given.
