eep! Transfer is such an actual risk... not only with felines, but other reptiles. Washing hands/ disinfecting is so important! I can't imagine letting my cats in the cages. It's such an easy thing to overlook/ it should be talked about more. I'm always saddened when advice is received so negatively. much love
Yeah, people see cats cuddling beardies and think it’s cute because cats are cute so everything they do is apparently cute, when in reality cats are these beautifully efficient hunters that are built for small animal population control. Most folks also don’t know about the bacteria, which is why I talk about it a lot- it’s something I think everybody should know. Cat scratches can hurt humans if they’re not cleaned; they can lead to meningitis in the most extreme, worst cases.
(That’s gotta be the best response to advice I’ve ever seen, though. I’ve never seen an adult throw a temper tantrum quite like that before.)
