This may be me overreacting but I’m nervous because my littlest girl is only 12 weeks and hasn’t had all her vaccinations.
Had my bedroom window open for a little bit to get some air in before bed. Went upstairs about 10 mins later and closed it. The cats followed me and were VERY interested in a patch at the end of my bed, sniffing and licking. I smelled myself and it does have a smell but not really a typical urine smell? Anyway, a few minutes later I heard hissing, and they’d noticed another cat on the other side of the window.
I assume he’s been briefly inside and sprayed or marked my bed in some way. There is a VERY faint mark but only very light and small. Is it concerning that they licked it? I sprayed Feliway to distract from it and changed my sheets. Any help would be appreciated! I’m a v neurotic kitten parent

It might not be, depending on the health of the cat.

Did your tiny one come in the room? I would keep an eye out with all of them for scratching (fleas) and if you can get a window screen that would give you a little more flexibility for air :)

Not while he was there, but she licked the spot where I think he’d been. Definitely think I need a window screen!
