Can cat urine make humans sick?

Answer 1

Typically, the urine of all animals can harm us humans. Hence, it is best to avoid coming in contact with, or inhaling animal urine or feces. Sometimes, contact or consumption(in the case of toddlers) of urine and feces of pets(dogs, cats,etc.) can lead to a harmful disease called Leptospirosis. Hence, it is best to avoid unnecessary contact with our pets excreta. Toddlers and children who are at the crawling stage should be carefully monitored as they often tend to unknowingly touch or inhale their pet's excreta. If you do happen to come in contact with urine or feces, be sure to thoroughly disinfect and wash your hands. ==================== Pregnant women need to stay away from cat feces and urine. They can contact a disease that will transfer to their unborn fetus and cause severe disabilities in the unborn.

Answer 2

Yes, prolonged exposure can cause mild nausea and other symptoms similar to Allergies.

It is also not good for woman who are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant to clean a litter box, this would also include smaller domestic animals such as hamsters. It is important to keep the litter box clean on a daily basis. You are more likely to get sick if you clean your box weekly, your cats are also likely to get sick if proper cleanliness is not exercised on a daily basis. People with weaker immune system are at a much higher risk of getting sick, people with HIV should be extra cautious when cleaning after there animals.

Cats are more likely to urinate outside of the litter box if they do not feel that it is clean enough for them to use. If your cat is urinating outside of the box, they may also indicate that they could have cystitis or could have an infection. You will want to take your cat to the vet often to ensure he or she is healthy.
