A friend asked: When preparing to have a baby, what should you pay attention to when raising a cat during pregnancy and pregnancy? In short, these are the few things.

​​​​​​​

1. Regularly deworm.

Regardless of whether your pet goes outside or comes into contact with other pets/animals, it must be dewormed internally and externally regularly.

　2. Environmental disinfection.

Disinfect the home environment and items used by pets, such as mopping the floor with disinfectant, wiping tables and chairs, and disinfecting pet nests, utensils, toys and other places that pets come into contact with.

3. Disinfect in time after coming into contact with cat litter and pets.

Other members of the family are diligent in shoveling poop and cleaning up. It is best for expectant mothers not to shovel poop, or to disinfect their hands after shoveling poop. Wash your hands and disinfect your hands after petting the cat or dog.

4. About Toxoplasma gondii.

In addition to cat daddy, Toxoplasma can be transmitted through raw meat, unwashed chopping boards stained with raw meat, raw fruits and vegetables, etc. You should pay more attention to these.

Of course you can keep healthy cats. Both furry children and babies are important. If you do the above steps well, you don’t have to choose one or the other. You can have both.
