Cats are wonderful animals. They can provide companionship and they can even lower stress levels. If you’re a cat lover, you’re probably tempted to make friends with the neighborhood cats. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but there are a few dangers you should be aware of.

As soon as you make friends with that cat, he’s likely to keep coming back. That’s great if you’re just petting him on his head and going on your merry way. If you feed that cat, you can expect other animals to learn about the food quickly. Some of those animals may be wild and could pose a danger to you, your family, and your new kitty friend.

The cat itself could pose a problem. Without regular veterinary visits, you don’t know if the cat has worms, rabies, or another disease.
