Do cats have diseases
which are communicable to humans?

I've read a little about the litter box issues for pregnant women.

Other than that?

2. roommate has
lost three cats since September.

She claims it was peritonitis, but wouldn't pay for the blood test to determine exactly what caused the deaths.

I travel, but every time I come back here I get a sore throat or some other kind of malaise.

I'm doing research. If anyone else has anything to add, thanks.

3. I've never heard of anything that transmits to humans
other than cleaning the litter box when a woman is pregnant.

I have 3 cats and I have to say it was delightful when I was pregnant and didn't have to enjoy doing that.
