Cats can be infected with influenza viruses, including bird flu. Little is known about the dangers of humans contracting cats with the flu virus. However, in rare cases, people can get flu from cats.
In December 2016, a New York City animal shelter reported an outbreak of bird flu (H7N2 strain called) between shelter cats. During this outbreak, CDC said a person infected with the H7N2 influenza virus after prolonged and unprotected exposure to sick cats. The agency visited the person a relatively mild disease, and recovered.
Overall, the risk of fluffy flu appears to be low, CDC says.

plagueBoth dogs and cats can catch the plague, and the old disease is caused by a germ called ersinia pestis. However, cats are more susceptible to infection than dogs, says CDC.People can catch a plague if bitten or scratched by an infected animal. In some cases, people can get infected breathing respiratory spray
containing your favorite bacteria, according to the agency's website.However, catching the plague of cats is not common. From
1977 to 1998, 23 people living in the western United States were
infected with plague after exposure to infected cats, according to a
2000 study published in the Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases. The study said about 8% of the nearly 300 cases of plague occurred in the United States during that period.Pets
may also spread plague people indirectly because fleas can collect
bacteria when feeding animals and bacteria spread to people through flea
bites, according to CDC.
