They can get a form of feline Parvo called Panleukopenia Virus. It's alot like the dog's parvo virus but only cats can get it. we had an out break of it when we rescued a new litter of kittens, all of the kittens died because they were unvaccinated, we have 4 older cats who were vaccinated & they are just fine it didnt effect them. Its spread through sharing living area's & eating out of the same bowl, as well as drinking out of the same water dish as an infected cat. Areas infected with feline panleukopenia need to be disinfected with a bleach solution. There is also treatment available. Prevention through routine vaccination is extremely effective.
Yes. Humans can transmit parvo if they have come in contact with it. Dog parvo doesn't make people sick, but if your dog has parvo, and you touch another dog who is not vaccinated, that dog will also have parvo. Parvo can survive on surfaces for 12 months and only bleach will kill it. If you carried your dog with parvo, then the clothes you were wearing also carries parvo unless you bleach them. If your dog vomits on your carpet, that spot is infected with parvo for 12 months, unless you bleach that area. Even the part of the yard where it uses the bathroom will be infected with parvo for a year.
No, humans cannot contract the parvovirus. Only cats and dogs can be infected with this disease, but vaccinations are available.
No people cannot get parvo per my children's pediatrician
no cats can not get that from cats
No
In animals, parvo passes from an infected mother to her offspring. Parvo is highly contagious. Most animals with Parvo will die before 6 weeks old.
No, parvo is a virus, not a worm.
Parvo is very contagious to unvaccinated dogs and puppies. It is not contagious to humans.
They shed the virus in their feces for 2 weeks after.
Yes, cats do attack. They attack prey, other cats, sometimes dogs and other animals.

Dogs are the main parvo carriers, and the fluids and excrement of infected dogs may contain parvovirus. Depending on what you mean by "parvo," cats, minks, foxes, and other similar animals can also carry it.
The above answer is totally incorrect-It is IMPOSSIBLE to catch parvo from another species! Cats cannot get parvo. They can catch what is called Feline Distemper which is like parvo, but it only happens in cats, they cannot catch it from anything else besides cats, and it is not actually parvo. Same thing with Rodents- rodents can catch something that is "like" parvo but it is not the actual parvo virus.To sum this up only canines can get parvo.
No. Parvo is a disease ONLY in dogs that attacks the cells in the GI tract. This disease is not zoonotic (humans cannot catch it) and neither can felines. Felines can get another form of parvo called panleukopenia unrelated to Parvo with similar symptoms. But dogs can't catch it from cats and vice versa.Source: Veterinary Technician at an emergency and specialty hospital.
Rabies is a completely different disease from Distemper. Please read the related source links below for more details.
When The dog completely get rid of Parvo virus
yes parvovirus is an infectious virus that both dogs and cats can get. It is spread through feces
I would say no because they CAN contract the parvo virus from a cats feces and if the puppy hasn't been vaccinated they WILL contract this DEADLY disease. Animals can have the PARVO virus & not get sick....especially if they have had their shots SO be VERY careful(;
technically, yes, but it is a completely different virus than the parvovirus dogs get. if your dog has parvo, it is only transmitted between dogs. you will no get it nor will other pets (such as cats).
no, horses can't get parvo, parvo is a disease that puppies get.
PARVO
A cat is not susceptible to Parvo, although it is believed to be related to a Feline Distemper virus. With that said, a cat can become exposed to Parvo via feces, etcetera, and carry the virus back on their paws or fur or in some similar way and infect dogs by being the transmitting agent. Rodents and the like can also carry the virus about in this fashion. The virus is very hardy and can last nine months off host on floors or the like. Proper vaccinination is the only way to be sure your dog is safe.
