No you cant. my kitten bites me day and night and I have never gotten sick.

Answer:

Yes, assuming your cat doesn't have shots, has some sort of disease, and breaks the skin. These diseases are called zoonotic diseases. They include:

Bacterial Infections:

  • Cat-scratch disease (bartonellosis) which causes swollen lymph nodes, especially around the head, neck, and upper limbs, fever, headache, sore muscles and joints, fatigue, and poor appetite. It may be fatal
  • Salmonellosis, another common bacterial disease, can cause diarrhea, fever, and stomach pain beginning one to three days after infection. It may be fatal.

Parasitic Infections

  • Fleas
  • Roundworms and hookworms
  • Visceral larva migrans
  • Cutaneous larva migrans

Fungal Infections

  • Ringworm .

Protozoal Infections

  • Cryptosporidiosis
  • Giardiasis
  • Toxoplasmosis .

Viral Infections

  • Rabies (almost always fatal)

My mom made a big bowl of chicken soup and my dad forgot to put the cover on it and the next thing we know, our cat was eating our delicious soup! Me and my family didn't want to take our chances, so we just left it alone!

What happens if a cat licks Neosporin?

If it licks it all away from where it needs to be, this can be a problem. I had a cat with a long-term wound which got better soon after switching to another ointment, which tasted bad (unlike the ones it had been on). So if this sounds like your cat, ask your vet if they can prescribe a bad-tasting ointment instead.

Can three licks of chocolate pudding kill your cat?

Three licks would not kill your cat if they are small licks, if it ate too much then it may die yes, if it did eat alot then you should take it to a vet. Otherwise I do not think that three licks would kill your cat no.
