Hey Missy - I once asked the vet about sharing germs with cats. His answer was that *rarely* and when it is, it is us getting some sort of nasty from the cats - but he emphasized *rarely*.

When we get out the suitcases - the kitties know something is going on and they always act different. Like others have said - they really sense the change of tension in the air. Just keep reassuring Boomer that he is #1 Kitty
