I don't know if I'm being to paranoid, but i'm starting to get really concerned about this. My cat recently started hunting, or she caught two birds like 1 month ago. I heard birds carry plenty of diseases and external parasites such as ticks, can these be transmitted to cats, or humans? She's not scratching herself or anything, and I bathed her since then, however I was wondering if maybe these can nest in her bed or my bed, or something like that, specially since a couple of weeks ago I developed some sort of rash. It's very slight, and non uniform, I think it could be bug bites. Thankx for any info...
