Plague can infect cats, but because cats have much higher immunity to plague than other animals, most cats can recover naturally even after being infected and retain plague-specific antibodies in their bodies for a long time. Plague is caused by Yersinia pestis and is a disease prevalent among wild rodents.
The transmission route of plague:
1. If you come into contact with the sputum of plague patients or the skin, blood and damage of sick animals in daily life local tissue, which can easily spread plague infection through the skin.
2. Rat fleas are generally transmitted by rat fleas. If you are bitten by rat fleas, they are transmitted to the body and become infected with plague.
3. Plague is a highly contagious disease. If you are too close to a patient, you can easily be infected through droplets.
