When we adopted ,cat flu was going round the RSPCA in one of their wings (happended to be the one Patch and Lucky was in and they escaped with a very mild case). Everyone was instructed to wash their hands after touching the cats in this wing before wanting to "visit" another cat & to see the healthy cat wing before the flu cat wing.

So as long as you wash your hands (with an anti-bac wash) before you visit your parents (no stroking goodbye on the way out) you should be fine. Think of it like visiting someone in hospital but the other way around.

Hope the cat feels better soon.
