997.0. "Canine Visitor" by DPDMAI::BALL (I AM standing up!) Wed Dec 30 1987 13:18

    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.

997.1Maybe fleas....ITSBIG::VACCARIWed Dec 30 1987 14:0411
    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.
