According to professional pet doctors, it is okay to raise cats during pregnancy. As long as the owner does not come into contact with the feces of the cat, wash hands frequently, and dispose of excrement in a timely manner, some potential infections can be completely prevented. If you and your family have concerns before getting pregnant, you can check your cat. You can also go to the hospital to do a TORCH test to check whether there is Toxoplasma gondii infection. These examinations can only prove whether you and your cat are currently healthy. In order to avoid future infections, you and your cat need to pay special attention and take correct preventive methods 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 will not cause any serious harm to the fetus in her belly; however, if she is infected with toxoplasmosis during pregnancy, it will cause danger to the unborn baby. So, how is toxoplasmosis infected? There are only the following channels:

1).Eating raw meat or meat that has not been fully cooked;

2). Eating unpasteurized goat's milk, yogurt and cheese;

3). Vegetables and fruits that have not been washed and steamed are also possible;

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

It can be seen that although cats have "responsibility", it does not mean that all responsibilities are borne by them. Cats are just one of the sources of infection. Even if you do not own a cat, you may still be infected with toxoplasmosis. Moreover, there are many threats that affect pregnant mothers. In this case, when your family has a cat and you are pregnant, you do not have to abandon the cat as some people say. That being said, necessary precautions should still be taken! When it comes to toxoplasmosis alone, there are some simple steps every future mother can take during pregnancy. From my cat-raising experience, first of all, only eat fully cooked meat, wash your hands before and after processing raw meat, clean used stoves and cutting boards promptly; avoid drinking unsterilized goat milk and dairy products , raw vegetables and fruits should be washed thoroughly; wear rubber gloves when handling soil in the yard or flower pots; avoid handling cat litter and its feces yourself, and if you must, wear rubber or nylon gloves. By taking the above measures, you can minimize the risk of infection and you can continue to enjoy your cat as usual. Ultimately, maintaining basic hygiene guidelines and developing good hand-washing habits will help eliminate the risk of contracting toxoplasmosis and help prevent other infections.

According to research by foreign scientists, children who stay with cats and dogs for a long time are less likely to suffer from allergies than children who keep pets for a short period of time. The research report also pointed out that many families are afraid of keeping pets for fear that their children will get asthma. In fact, frequent contact with cats as a child will not cause asthma, but can actually prevent you from contracting the disease. So far, at least 4 studies have shown that there is no direct relationship between keeping pets and asthma.Tie.

In fact, in terms of human infection sources, the chance of contracting Toxoplasma gondii from raising cats 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 about cat raising that I have summarized, and I would like to share my cat raising experience with you... I hope it can help cat mothers during pregnancy.
