Cancer in cats - can it pass to humans?!


Question: Cancer in cats - can it pass to humans!?
The neighbours cat has been coming over to our place for a few months!. Sometimes I'd hand feed it, pat it and even pick it up and kiss it!. I found out from the owners that its sick, it has cancer, and its getting to 20 years old!. As I've come in contact with the cats saliva on my hand and my hand may have then gone to my mouth, I wanted to know if cancer in cats is contagious to humans!. Thank youWww@Answer-Health@Com

Your fine bro!. Cancer is never contagious!. You could have sex with someone with cancer and be fineWww@Answer-Health@Com

Cancer, simply put, is the uncontrolled division of your body's cells!. When you get wounded, the cells will keep dividing to fill up the wound!. The division stops when the wound is filled up!. This is due to a phenomenon called touch inhibition, in which the cells will stop dividing the moment they feel another cell near them!.

In cancer, the cells lose the property of touch inhibition!. Cancer is caused by the activation of certain genes in the DNA!. The genes are present in each and every person - yes all of us!. If those genes get activated, cancer starts in the place they are activated in!. For e!.g!. lung, prostate etc!. The genes may get activated automatically or is most cases, by carcinogens (cancer causing agents)!.

Cancer is NOT CONTAGIOUS!. You won't get cancer from the cat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, cancer isn't a contagious disease!.
And it is rare (or maybe it never happens) for feline viruses to mutate in a way that humans can catch them anyway!.
Don't worry about it at all because there is no way you could catch cancer even from another person!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
