possibly you should be checked for lyme disease.  it's possible the cat had ticks, which can infect you with lyme disease, which, by the way, is not an std.

Did you have sex with this cat?  This is STD forum, meaning "sexually" transmitted diseases, not a FTD or "feline" transmitted disease forum.  I just feel sorry for people with legitimate questions.  If you really are serious about it, perhaps you should go see a doctor or make a visit to a hospital to ease your fears, good luck.

No offense, but I'm with SunnyTriangle on this one, it sounds like you are taking advantage of this "free" forum to ask a question unrelated to STD's because you don't want to spend the money asking your own doctor.  Anyways I'm sure the Doc will just delete this thread because it's such a ludicrous questions, but entertaining tho!  The next time my dog Lola and I get intimate, I'll be sure to wear a condom because I don't want to catch an STD.

You can't assume that the cat had some sort of feline STD just because she had an apparent discharge from the vaginal area.  (STDs have been documented in several species, including cattle, sheep, and rabbits, but none of those is transmitted to people.  I have not heard of feline STDs.)

The most common recogized disease that can be transmitted from cats to humans is toxoplasmosis, but it is transmitted by contact with cat feces, and your symptoms don't sound like that disease.  It sounds more likely like you have had a garden-variety viral infection.  In any case, I can't speculate any further on what is causing your problem; you'll need to see a health care provider and get things checked out.  But don't worry about some sort of wierd STD from the cat.

Good luck-- HHH, MD
