Disease

Question
I have a cat and two rabbits and I want to know if the rabbits could pick up any diseases if I let them out of their cage in a room where the cat has been?

Answer
Dear Courtney,

Rabbits can get some kinds of worms and possibly fleas from cats, but I do not know specifically of anything else they can get from cats, particularly if the cats are not even in the room at the time. I do not even know how they would get worms from a cat--I have just heard that they could. Mostly watch for fleas--they are sneeky little buggers! Your cat may not have any anyway.

God Bless
