A member asked:

I was distracted and my cat ate a little bit of my fish...should i be worried about my health? possible harm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Little harm likely: Your cat has probably had his shots and is housebound to be ideal. That would include protection against rabies. If your mouth lacks any cuts or scratches, then the food you swallow (fish) will either have no problems or your digestive system will take care of any contaminants You should be fine.
