Dog cannot get distemper from cats. The viruses that cause dog and cat distemper are different from each other so cannot be passed between cats and dogs. There are wild animals such as raccoons that can get both canine and feline distemper and pass it to unvaccinated pets if attacked.

No, cats cannot get distemper from dogs. Canine distemper virus specifically infects dogs and other members of the Canidae family, and does not affect cats. Cats are at risk for other diseases such as feline distemper (panleukopenia) or feline leukemia virus, but not distemper from dogs.
