If the cat is your pet then very little. People are too 'germ crazy.' Cats are very good at grooming and if shots are kept up to date then the only thing you may get from your cat is Allergies. One should always wash their hands or use Aloe/bacterial gel (easy on the hands) after handling a cat if they have been outside. Also your cats paws are in their own litter box and could pick up worms or bacteria so washing your hands is a must. If it's a neighbors cat I did pick up ring worm once when a child from my neighbor's cat. I only got one spot on the underside of my wrist and the doctor gave my mother medication for it. If they are feral cats (wild cats) then they can have all sorts of diseases and even possibly have rabies. Never corner or approach a wild cat. There are a number of disease that cats can get from other cats. Here is a list of the most common: * Upper respiratory infections * Rabies * Feline Leukemia * Feline Panleukemia * Feline immunodeficiency virus * Feline infectious peritonitis To find out more, check out the link in the related links section.
The type of chlamydia that infects cats is chlamydia psittaci. This is not the same germ that causes an STD in humans. Cats can spread chlamydia psittaci, but it won't cause genital disease in humans.
Although it is rare, humans can catch mono from a cat. In order to be at risk, a person has to have direct, sustained contact with the cat's food or water. Humans cannot transmit the disease to cats.
Cats can carry AIDS. However, it is a form of AIDS that is only transferable to other cats, not humans.
Cats and dogs can carry mononucleosis. The disease is far more common than many people think and you can catch it from your pet.

Yes, although I don't believe the strains are similar or contagious between humans, cats, dogs. In other words, the strain dogs get can only be spread to other dogs (commonly known as kennel cough), the strain cats get can only be spread to other cats and the strain humans get is also known as the common head cold.
