Does cat naturally have rabies or does it come from another source?
No, a cat does not "naturally" have rabies; it is a disease that is transmitted from other infected animals, almost always through a bite. However, being bitten by a rabid animal does not necessarily mean that the bitten animal will become infected. Humans, cats, and dogs are only mildly susceptible to the disease.
Are tapeworms contagious to other cats?
Cats or dogs or any other mammals cannot pass on the tapeworms directly to the other cat, dog, etc. It has to be passed on by a Flea. The flea is called the intermediate host. The eggs are passed out in the stool of an infected animal in little segments that look like grains of rice. If the animal ate that directly, he would still not become infected. The eggs have to be ingested by the flea who then passes it on when he lands on a dog or cat and bites them. Then the cat or dog can become infected from the flea. So that is one reason for flea protection. Use Frontline monthly or some other product that does the same thing on your cat or dog.
