Cats and Kittens

Robert R asked:


Dear all,

My beloved pet tick recently came home with an unwanted cat attatched. I have heard that you can use tweezers to remove the cat, but I seek clarification- is there any danger the tick may become infected by some kind of cat-borne disease? Also, how can I safely dispose of the cat?

Mum says she would never adopt a cat with cat flu? Most cats at the shelter would have cat flu if I’m not mistaken as they spend heaps of time with other cats, epecially when there with penned with 7 other different cats

It would be virtually impossible to find a shelter cat the didn’t have cat flu? Right or Wrong?
Cats are vacciented at our shelters for cat flu and other disease, but although does reduce the chances of a cat getting sick, does not guarantee the cat will not get sick.
