Litter question...?

Ok, so this may sound dumb, but I am keeping my new kitty's litterbox in my bedroom, because it's really the only low traffic spot in my house....I'm just wondering if by me breathing the litter all night, I will end up with some sort of disease?! I have heard this somewhere, and it's got me a little worried...I guess maybe I'm over reacting...Is it ok for it to be in my room???

I do not see why it would be a problem, as long as you keep it clean and sanitize once in a while to keep infections and dangerous bacterias away. I know a lot of people who has many cats and keep litter boxes everywhere, including their bedrooms!

It should be fine as long as you keep the boxes clean and wash them thoroughly when you empty them completely for a new fill up.
If you are thinking about toxoplasmosis, it is more of a danger to pregnant women and generally only for outdoor cats that are more likely to carry the parasites.

I keep it in my bedroom and never had a problem... I dont think it is unless you are expecting...

Thanks!!! I was just worried because I had heard so much stuff...and this is my first time keeping a kitty indoors. I'm not pregnant so, I'm good to go. And I'll def sanitize it once a week! Thanks for the help everyone!!!

Have had the(some) litter boxes in my room since 1996 and nothing has come of it...Nothing like waking up to the smell of a cat poop freshly put out tho... EVIL GRIN!!! RJ

LOL!!!

No, there's no risk of health problems whatsoever unless you exercise a total lack of common sense, e.g. not cleaning the box. To minimize dust, I find it helpful to fill the litterbox outdoors if possible and let it "settle" for a couple of minutes before bringing it indoors.
