In the opinion of a professional pet doctor, it is okay to keep a cat during pregnancy, as long as the owner does not touch the cat's feces, washes hands frequently, and disposes of excrement in time, some potential infections are completely OK Prevention. If you and your family have concerns before pregnancy, you can check your cat. You can also go to the hospital for a TORCH test to find out whether there is Toxoplasma gondii infection. These inspections can only prove whether you and your cat are healthy at present. In order to avoid future infection, both you and your cat need to pay special attention and take correct preventive measures, so as not to threaten the health of the expectant mother.

It is said that if a woman is infected with toxoplasmosis before pregnancy, it is not a problem for the fetus in the womb; however, if a woman is infected with toxoplasmosis during pregnancy, danger to the unborn baby. So, how is toxoplasmosis infection? There are several ways:

1). Eating raw or undercooked meat;

2 ).Eating unpasteurized goat milk, yoghurt and cheese;

3).Unwashed and steamed vegetables and fruits are also possible;

4).Contact with cats Contaminated debris in the litter or contact with soil contaminated with cat feces, etc.

It can be seen that although cats have responsibility, it does not mean that all the responsibilities are borne by them. Cats are just one of the sources of infection. Even if you don't keep cats, you may be infected with toxoplasmosis. Moreover, there are many more threats affecting pregnant mothers. That being the case, when your family has a cat and you are pregnant, you don't have to abandon the cat as some people say. That being said, there are necessary precautions to be taken! In the case of toxoplasmosis alone, there are some simple steps every prospective mother can take during pregnancy. From my experience with cats, first of all, only eat fully cooked meat, wash your hands before and after processing raw meat, clean used stoves and cutting boards in time; avoid drinking unsterilized goat milk and dairy products , Wash raw vegetables and fruits thoroughly; wear rubber gloves when handling soil in the yard or pots; avoid handling cat litters and their feces by yourself, and wear rubber or nylon gloves if you must. With enough of the above steps in place, the risk of infection can be minimized, and you can continue to keep your cat as happy as you normally would. At the end of the day, maintaining basic hygiene guidelines and developing good handwashing habits can help eliminate the risk of contracting toxoplasmosis and help prevent other diseases.

According to a study by foreign scientists, children who spend a long time with cats and dogs are less likely to suffer from allergies than children who keep pets for a short time. The study also points out that many families are afraid to keep pets for fear of children with asthma. In fact, more contact with cats as a child, not only will not cause asthma, but can prevent contracting this disease. So far, at least 4 studies have shown that there is no direct relationship between pet ownership and asthma.

Actually, in terms of the source of human infection, the chance of raising cats to contract Toxoplasma gondii is actually much less than eating undercooked meat. Therefore, you should avoid eating undercooked meat and unwashed fruits and vegetables during pregnancy.

This is some common knowledge of cat raising that I have summarized, and I will share my cat raising experience with you....I hope it can help cat mothers during pregnancy.
