I was just thinking..I've recently been keeping my boyfriend's dog
for him. I've got a cat that has been indoor all her life with
the exception of going out to the patio. She's never been exposed
to any other animals. Rocky (the canine) is very healthy and is
current on shots and Corkie (my feline) is also. Should I be watching
for anything that she might get exposed to? I know doggies get
worms from being outside..if he happened to contract them are they
contageous? Are there anythings that doggies carry that kitties
can get? Thanks for any info.

I have two cats that are both indoor only and I also have a Springer
Spaniel that of course goes out..... The only thing I'm aware of
the dog (Reggie) giving my kitties is fleas! I did ask the vet
if the cats could catch anything from the dog and she said no.
I also grew up with cats that were indoor only and many dogs....
can't remember the cats getting anything from the dogs. If animals
are up to date with all their shots, you shouldn't have to worry
about kitty catching anything from the dog....maybe fleas if they
cuddle up together or share sleeping quarters.
