What germs can i get from my cat if he plays with dead critter in garage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Little worry: The germs that decompose dead critters thrive at temperatures that are different from your own body, and pose little risk. And all cats play with nasty dead things. A cat bite is always dangerous and is generally handled with an antibiotic. Glad you have a good pet -- don't worry yourself.
