I'm visited by four neighbor's cats. It annoys me they get some birds but
their poo is way too trivial to go get ****y about.

Cat shit is not trivial, perhaps you should eat more of it!

The fatal feline leukemia virus, feline infectious perionitis and feline
immunodeficiency virus are spread from cat to cat through saliva, urine and
fecal matter. A cat who is suffering from intestinal parasites, such as
roundworms or tapeworms, can pass the eggs of these parasites in his feces.
Should another animal come in contact with the infected cat's feces, he is
immediately at risk of contracting the parasites. And take note, some worms
can be passed from animals to humans. Every year about 10,000 children
annually, for example, are infected with roundworms.


Another parasite that can spread from cats to people is the organism that
causes toxoplasmosis. Symptoms of toxoplasmosis include fever, shortness of
breath and neurological problems. If a mother-to-be contracts the disesase
in her first trimester, it can produce cysts in the brain of the fetus.
This can lead to developmental abnormalities or even miscarriage. The
organism that casuses toxoplasmosis is common in raw meat and gardening
soil, and can also sometimes be found in cat feces.
