I live in Colorado where prairie dogs have plague occasionally. The colony dies off and a cat or human that gets near the area is attacked by starving fleas. We keep our cats indoors so they won’t bring home plague and catch other diseases. You can test for toxoplasmosis in cats. I don’t know if it can be treated, but you can put the animal down. They are much less likely to have it if they are kept indoors plus no fleas or lice. Colorado is very dry so we don’t usually have fleas or lice on pets, but keeping them indoors means they won’t have either.
I know you don’t like cats, but there are ways to reduce risk.

I let my man sleep in my bed. He could transmit a lot of diseases, such as HIV, alphabet soup hepatitis, influenza, tuberculosis, strep, and others. Should I have him autoclaved?
