Cat urine is generally considered to be not harmful when children come in causal contact with it.

However cat feces can contain the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, which can cause the parasitic disease Toxoplasmosis.

Unborn children are particularly at risk for for serious complications from Toxoplasmosis. Therefore pregnant women should avoid exposure to cat feces, and soil that may contain cat feces. (They should also avoid handling raw meat.)

Can cat urine hurt a baby?

Yes


How does cat urine hurt newborns?

Cat urine has ammonia in it. Some people say that the ammonia fumes can harm small children, and unborn babies (if the mother breathes in the fumes). However, there are other people who say that this is just a myth.Even if ammonia fumes could harm small children and unborn babies...so what? The only way the child would be exposed to the fumes is if the child was cleaning out the litter box. And how many 2 year-olds clean out litter boxes?Exposure to cat feces can also cause the disease toxoplasmosis. However, this disease is extremely rare among indoors-only cats, so, if your cat is an indoors cat, you don't need to worry about this.

Can cat bites harm pregnant women?

Cat urine is not harmful to pregnant women or their unborn children. That is an old wives' tale. Cat urine contains ammonia, which means the fumes can be overpowering in a dirty litter box, but it will not harm you or your unborn child. The fact that it smells awful doesn't mean it'll hurt you.Cat feces can carry a disease called toxoplasmosis, which can be harmful to pregnant women and their unborn babies. However, toxoplasmosis is a disease that only affects outdoor cats. If your cat is an indoors-only cat, you do not need to worry about toxoplasmosis.Certain kinds of litters (specifically, the clay-based kind) contain toxins which are potentially harmful to humans. This is really only a problem when you pour the new litter in the box, or dig around in the box vigorously, as this releases a cloud of clay dust.Instead of clay litter, try the crystal kind, such as Clear Choice Crystals or Fresh Magic. You can also try a corn-based litter like World's Best Cat Litter, but in my experience, the crystal litter is far superior. It lasts much longer, it controls odor better than any other litter, and there are no urine clumps to scoop. Instead, the urine is absorbed by the crystals, so you only have to scoop the poop. It also tracks much less (meaning, far less of it gets kicked out of the box onto the floor).

Yes, and it is unhealthy for everyone within the home. Pet urine causes odors when it dries and leaves bacteria contaminated salt deposits in the carpet. If it is a cat, what you are smelling is the ammonia created by the cat urine. Ammonia in high concentrations is not good for you or your newborn baby. All-in-all any kind of pet urine creates an unhealthy home environment.
