 cats & pregnancy (Toxoplasmosis) | |
Anyone know much about cats & pregnancy? (Toxoplasmosis)
My wife and I would love to get a kitten sometime in the near future. We've done a little reading about the Toxoplasmosis issue and know that at a bare minimum she wouldn't be going near the litter box. Not a problem... But does that totally eliminate risk or should we just wait until after the baby is born to be on the safe side?
Also we thought another reason to perhaps wait until after the baby was born to get the cat, might be that the cat would be coming in to the baby's house and not the other way around. In other words, if we got the cat now I guess there is some chance the cat might get territorial and react poorly when the baby arrives. If instead we bring the cat in to the house after the baby arrives that shouldn't be an issue.
