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.

No, I didn't touch them. I was thinking of maybe a flea or tick jumping?

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!!
