Hello, my question is a little weird. I walk to and from work in the city and often see cats roaming the streets. I can never resist stopping to meet a new cat. They may be someone's pet or they may be strays but they generally let me pet them.
I always wash my hands afterwards, but I worry about transmitting germs to my own cats. I can't imagine passing by a cat on the street without loving him a little, but if it's dangerous for my boys I'll stop. Does anyone else do this? Should I quit petting these cats?
