I got a cold a few days ago and wondered if my cat gave it to me. I noticed a couple of times that he drank out of my water mug and possibly gave me something from doing so. I guess I need to keep my water out of the reach of my cat because it probably isn’t too sanitary when he dips his paws in my water, especially after using the litter box. I’m new at this cat thing and am learning as I go. My HVAC rep has some cats and when I see him later I will ask about getting sick from them. I’m not sure if it is possible to get a cold from a cat but I wouldn’t doubt it. I can also go down to the local business which sells pet food to ask them if they know anything about it. I think it comes down to keeping their litter box clean and keeping my water out of reach of their paws and mouths. I am working at the HVAC business today, even though I don’t feel very well, but I have to make money to pay my rent because rent has no patience and doesn’t care if you are sick or not. I think I am working in the back of the HVAC store today doing inventory because they want to keep me away from all of the customers so I don’t get them sick. That is fine with me because I like to listen to music while I do inventory as it is quite peaceful.
