This is a message I received from a friend about the daughter of a child we were all concerned about. >The tumor that was on her neck was benign and it was caused from a cat >scratch that she got on her hand about 6 weeks ago. The doc said it was >cat scratch disease that she had and it tends to settle in the lymph >glands. She's at home and taking Tylenol with codeine! hehe We were worried about cancer. What a relief! But would the same remark been made had it been done by a ferret? Would there have been a little hehe behind it? What kind of disease would a cat pass that would cause this? Can ferrets get the same disease. I'm sorry, this just really bugs me. A cat did this and it's all taken with a grain of salt. If a ferret had done this, the law would have been brought in, the ferret confiscated, and in some places killed and tested. Maybe I'm just over reacting. But I guess that's just the way it goes.
