* Toxoplasmosis. A single celled organism that cats can
ingest while
eating prey that has been exposed. Not only can it kill a
cat, it is contagious to people and can result in severe
birth defects to human babies whose mothers are exposed
during pregnancy. Wearing rubber gloves while handling
litter pan duties and gardening is highly recommended for
pregnant women. Finding another home for your cherished pet
is NOT necessary.

pregnant women are more likely to contract toxoplasmosis from
handling raw meat than from Tabby.

Pregnant women should not clean cat boxes due to toxoplasmosis risk. But
if the cat poops outside pregger-gal is safer.
