Even if the cage owner was a small,

Even if the cage owner was a small, weaker cat and the introduced male was large and powerful, it was still the owner which mounted and the visitor which crouched in the female fashion. If the situation was reversed and then the mating roles were also reversed. It was always the territory owner who (literally) came out on top. Is it possible to catch AIDS from cats?
No, it is not.
But it has become difficult to convince those hypochondriacs who also happen to be cat owners that there is no danger.
This is because certain newspapers thoughtlessly mentioned that some pet cats in California had been discovered to be suffering from the AIDS virus.
These reports were made without checking the facts and without any consideration for the panic they could cause.
Inevitably they led to the totally unnecessary deaths of many pet cats, as jittery owners took emergency steps to protect themselves from the dreaded twentieth-century plague.
Their fears were quite unfounded, because the so-called “Feline AIDS” is caused by a different virus from the one that has attacked humans.
True, it belongs to the same group of viruses, but within that group it is only distantly related.
So, even if bitten or scratched by a cat that had somehow smeared its teeth or claws with infected blood from its sores and the human victim would still not be able to pick up the disease.
There is no evidence from any source that “Feline AIDS” can infect the human body.
Despite this and scaremongering journalists have managed to cause fear and anxiety among those cat-lovers who are of a “nervous disposition”.
Within hours of the reports appearing in the press, vets and cat sanctuaries were flooded with requests to have cats destroyed or to find them new homes.
