I thought it was one of the human diseases to which our

Some pet-type animals, such as rodents and reptiles, seem to
carry high levels of salmonella without becoming diseased, but
cats are not one of them. Cats can easily develop
salmonellosis. It's one of the known hazards of feeding a raw
diet -- a hazard not alone for the pet, but also for the human
handling the pet.
