View Full Version : Homeless cat
I walked past a homeless lady with a cat on her lap (I live in the city). I'm concerned about diseases the cat might carry. Anyone know about what those might be? I don't want to Google and potentially send myself off the deep end.
I'm not sure I understand, are you worried about the homeless lady?
I'm worried (selfishly) about myself. I have a lot of fear and phobias around germs and disease so I'm worried that I could have caught something from getting so close to the cat

It doesn't matter what diseases the cat (or the homeless lady) could have. Nothing would put you at risk just by being relatively near them for a matter of moments.

But you didn't touch the woman or the cat right?
No, I didn't touch them. I was thinking of maybe a flea or tick jumping?

Ummmm. No.

If it were that easy, we'd all be sick and dying. I am positive you did not pick anything up from the homeless woman or the cat.
You will be fine. You only passed her for a few seconds. I honestly know you will be ok. Try not to worry.
Thanks everyone. Rationally, part of my mind knows I'm totally fine. The OCD / HA is just so strong!!
