Can you get aids from a cat?

No, you cannot get AIDS from a cat. AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which is a virus that only infects humans.

Cats can get a similar disease called Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), but it is not transmissible to humans. FIV is spread through bites and scratches from infected cats, and it weakens the cat's immune system, making them more susceptible to infections.

While FIV and HIV are related viruses, they are different enough that they cannot be transmitted between humans and cats.
