Answer:

A disease you catch from animals are called a zoonosis. Cats can give you "cat scratch fever" (see Link). They can be sources of the fungal infection-ringworm.

In addition their hair and dander can initiate Asthma attacks. There are also parasites such as roundworms and toxoplasma gondii that can be transmitted from cats to humans.
