Is A Cat Harmful To One With Congestive Heart Failure?
Hi - thanks in advance for any help. A good friend recently had a health scare and has been diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure. His brother feels that living with his cat will be dangerous for his health. I understand many people benefit from pet companionship and wonder if this could be a problem. Any information regarding this situation will be appreciated. Jim
HI Well come to HCM History of congestive Heart disease and living with the cat is totally irrelevant and one can be with the cat if it is pet, and fully vaccinated, hope this information helps.
