Luckily cats have a digestive system made for eating meat, and can handle salmonella well. For campylobacter - well, just wash your hands after handling the cat/litterbox and don't kiss it on the mouth

I think people in general are too scared of a little bacteria here and there, and it's a shame if that should put anyone off feeding a species appropriate food for their cat.
As is my vets, i did take the advice of the specialist nutritionist at the referral centre before making the switch too. However i respect the opinion of the lady who doesnt wish to feed it, its a personal choice.
