Best Answer

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.

Why is cat urine fluorescent?

It isn't. Cat urine is not fluorescent, and it does not glow in the dark. I'm not sure where this myth comes from. Cat urine is yellow, like human urine. To the naked eye, it is indistinguishable from human urine, except for the smell. Cat urine is ammonia-based (unlike human urine) so it smells of ammonia.
