Cat bites and scratches can be extremely serious, especially in people with depressed immune systems. And what's the deal with keeping pregnant women away from litter boxes?

Any cat, dog, possum, raccoon, snake bit or scratch can put you in the hospital....birds can put you in the hospital from just having them around! (Airborne diseases and cleaning their cages).....I hope you don’t think otherwise and it’s just ‘cats’ that spread a disease. You can even get a disease from being in a room with a human! Honest! And pregnant woman and kids shouldn’t be touching ANY feces. A cat or dog that eats an infected rodent can transmit toxoplasmosis through their feces. And what dogs can’t resist eating cat feces. But, I read it’s very rare. BUT...did you know that cats suck the breath out of babies!!!! LOL!!!
