Is there any reason not to put cat manure in a compost bin?

I wouldn't but you can compost anything.
Wife's Aunt lost her eyesight working her little flower garden.
Neighbors cats had used it for a litter box. Despite washing hands she
got a horrible infection from brushing her hair away from her eyes or
something.
She didn't use gloves of course.
I have forgotten the details except that cat poo had a very bad pathogen
in it. It's ot just tht or those cats but most cats.
