I was wondering if anybody could advise on cats and rats? I know all about what disease rats can carry, but as our Milo has caught the odd one or two in about the last 6 months, I was wondering is it possible for him to get infected at all if the rat was to bite or scratch him?
I assume that when a cat goes to catch one it will go straight for the rats neck, reducing the chances of being bitten, and from the couple that he has caught there seems to be no sign of him drawing blood from the rat. I suppose a cat would be just as prone to be infected from a flee that has come from a rat. Any advise would be great.
