Can you contact herpes through a cat scratch?

No, humans cannot contract feline or human herpes from a cat in any way, shape or form. Only cats can contract Feline Herpes Virus (more commonly known as an acute upper respiratory disease) and is usually spread through direct contact (secretions from the eyes and nose) or indirect contact (Contact with infected food bowls, litter trays, bedding etc., which have been in contact with an infected cat). This virus is most common in kittens, cats in stressed/overcrowded environments. Kittens and older cats are more at risk than healthy adults, and are also at a greater risk of dying. Once a cat has contracted the virus, it becomes a carrier. A times of stress or ill-health it is possible for it to re-surface, but some cats can live all their lives without another outbreak.
