People become infected with Bartonella henselae from the scratch of domestic or feral cats, particularly kittens. These bacteria can be transmitted from a cat to a person during a scratch that is contaminated with flea feces (poop). Infected cats that lick a person's open wound or bite can also spread the bacteria. Learn more about causes and prevention at the link below.
