I was wondering if feline aids is transfurable to humans when they scratch and break skin with the back claws.

NO... HIV cannot be transferred to cats and FIV (feline AIDS) cannot be transferred to humans. The virus that is responsible for Feline AIDS is host-particular, meaning it cannot survive in a different host. The same goes for HIV (human AIDS).

maximum heavily, a cat ought to devour foodstuff for a cat and not in any respect for a canines or different animal. Cats require Taurine. without it, blindness will ensue. as well a cat calls for diverse caloric values than a canines. Cat foodstuff is more beneficial in energy, Water is the in undemanding words proper drink on your cat. as well quenching thirst, it helps to grant cleansing of the kidneys by urination, basically because it does for all animals. Milk may reason diarrhea, causing gastric disenchanted so ought to no longer be fed to cats. If one feeds dry foodstuff, a sturdy high quality canned foodstuff also should be coated into the foodstuff routine. more beneficial accessible to digest and fills the tummy instead of with dry foodstuff basically causing the pellets to swell up with water, for that pretend finished feeling. I actually have had cats who favored in undemanding words dry, others which have favored in undemanding words canned, yet they are going to ultimately devour the canned in case you discover the right style.

no it is host specific so you would not be able to get it from your cat. we have 2 FIV cats at the shelter I work at and they are the most loving cats in the world, but everyone is afraid to touch them let alone adopt them. poor guys.

FIV is not transmittable to humans. My boss has a cat that is infected and has educated me on the matter.
