Zoonotic diseases—those that spread from animals to humans—are a real concern in India, where close human–pet interaction is common. These include bacterial illnesses like Salmonella or Leptospirosis, viruses such as rabies, and parasites like Toxoplasmosis.
Transmission is often caused by poor hygiene, raw feeding, contaminated litter trays, and close proximity. High-risk groups include children, the elderly, or anyone with a weakened immune system. Indoor cats are also vulnerable if hygiene is overlooked.
Symptoms can manifest in humans as fever, rashes, vomiting, or diarrhea, and in cats as lethargy, appetite changes, or respiratory issues. Early detection and veterinary consultation are critical for safety.
The remedy? Practice thorough hygiene, avoid raw diets, regularly clean litter and bowls, deworm, vaccinate, and feed immunity-boosting diets like Purrfeto—designed to support cat and human health alike.
