Just found out my wife is pregnant and I don't want to take any chances with this toxocalifragilistic thing.
Of course I'll be taking over litter box duty (it was mostly my job anyway). Our cats our indoor cats and as far as I know we've had no mice, so I suspect the risk is rather small. Still...
Cats stand in the litterbox, cats dig around in the litterbox. They don't exactly "wash their hands" afterwards (I tried putting a tiny bottle of liquid dial and an "employees must wash paws" sign, but it didn't take). Are their paws a potential source of toxoplazzippitydoo?
Cats sit in the litterbox, then they sit on the couch with their nasty uncovered butts, then we doze off on the couch and our face ends up in the same area. Toxopalitosis?
I know it seems silly, but I'm being serious. The paranoid father-to-be in me is starting to imagine cat feces everywhere -- good thing I don't have a black light.
Any advice?
