👉 "Cooties" is a term used to describe the small, round, and often yellowish-white parasites that are common on the skin of cats. These creatures feed on dead skin cells and shed their excrement, which they then deposit back onto the ground as droppings or urine. Cooties are typically found in areas where there may be a high concentration of natural predators such as mice, rats, and other rodents. They can also be transmitted to humans through contact with infected cats.
