disease through window screen?

[owe johnst]

I left a window open and when I came in there was a cat outside on the sill. My cat ran up to the window. They didn;t lick but I am not positive they did not before I got there. Could they pass leukimia that way? MY cat is awaiting shots.

If they passed saliva, yes it can be transmitted in that way, also by nasal secretions. IMO I doubt they'd pass saliva or other secretions through a screen. They did probably sniff each other though.

You're right. Licking is for when they know each other.
