cat litter

[Emily65Roses]

I've always had cats, and dogs. You name it (outside of farm animals), and we had it: hamsters, mice, guinea pigs, birds. But the dogs have always been the biggest part. I've grown up with at least one dog in the house at all times. At one point, we had as many as 5 or 6. Now, we've got 3. And these are not all small dogs. We have two small dogs, and personally I hate them. lol. Most of the dogs I grew up with were big hairy golden retrievers. And I never had a problem because of them. My doctors knew about all the pets, and never cared.

I too have had cats, dogs, horses, birds, etc. for years and have never had any problems with any of them. I think with the cat litter - if you're pregnant or have had a transplant then you should not be around the cat litter. My transplant center told me after transplant to have somebody else scoop the litter. I guess they're worried about toxoplasmosis, which is in cat feces and can be dangerous for pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems.
