In cats, these infections are common and very contagious. Infection is more common in areas associated with overcrowding and poor sanitation; for example, in catteries and rescue shelters and also in outdoor feral cat populations.

Several organisms, both bacterial and viral, can cause the infection. The two primary viruses are feline herpesvirus-1 (FHV) and feline calicivirus (FCV).

The scenes shown here represent an actual attack by a cat on a postal-delivery woman in Germany; whenever she tried to deliver the mail. According to a German TV presentation, the cat's owner was sitting in his home with his phobic cat on his lap and as a visiting postal-woman tried to pet the cat, it responded by violently striking out at her. Did the cat resent an invasion of its territory or did it simply have an abnormal hatred for uniforms?

Whatever the reason for the cat's behavior, its owner had to pick up his mail at a neighborhood bar because he refused to restrict the freedom of his cat to come and go whenever it desired.
