I didn't know it was debunked, do you have a link to some research by any chance?

Yes Good point! Remember the NY Zoo? Solid pet ownership to keep them indoors or supervised outdoors/ curfews in high prevalence areas? Lucky I have a pampered Ragdoll indoors & enclosed terrace only.. Too posh to get dirty paws
