Possibly rabies, depending on where you live. I'm not sure of any other diseases that are transmittable to rabbits :?
But, the cat can still infect other cats. You really need toencourage your boyfriend to take his cat in for his shots and acheckup. Has he been neutered? If not, there are also STD's, on top ofcreating litters of kittens when there is already a pet overpopulationcrisis.
If he doesn't do it,do it for him, and see that he pays youback. Honestly if I were you, I would tell him that Iam notable to be with a person who does not care for their animals
Plainand simple.
