∙ 13y agoThough it depends on the situation, pregnant women should avoid cleaning a litter box. Firstly, the stress being put on their body while cleaning a litter box can be tiring. But most importantly, the strong scents that litter boxes release (clean or not) are very irritable, regardless of the quality of the litter. Cat urine also has a chance of carrying parasites that could potentially harm the growth of a new coming baby. If you are pregnant and have a cat, just make sure to keep the litter box in an area that is ventilated well and where you are least likely to inhale the smell.

∙ 12y agoDepends on what you mean by "infested". You don't specify how many cats there are, how many litter boxes there are, and how much the pregnant woman is around them. A pregnant woman should never change the litter in a cat box because of the possibility of toxoplasmosis (which can cause serious problems in unborn children and newborns, but isn't generally dangerous to the mother). Simply living in a house with a lot of litter boxes shouldn't be a hazard. The risk comes if the woman is directly exposed to cat feces (e.g while cleaning a litter box). If you're in a house with lots of cats and litter boxes, try confining all the litter boxes to one room, and have the pregnant woman simply avoid that room as much as possible, and she should NEVER change the litter.

∙ 15y agoToxoplasmosis. This is a parasitic disease that infects many cats, and it can be transmitted by being exposed to cat feces. If an adult becomes infected, it's pretty minor. If a pregnant woman becomes infected, the baby can suffer deformities or death.
While pregnant, women should not handle the cat litter box, or if she must, she should use latex gloves. And don't adopt any new cats during pregnancy. If she already has cats, then either she's probably already had it and so is immune, or the cats don't carry the disease.

Can you scoop litter box while breastfeeding?
Since there are diseases a cat can transmit to humans, I would say no, both for the health of the mother and the baby. If you follow the proper precautions that everyone should use when cleaning a cat's litter box (breastfeeding or not), it will be safe to do so. Wear a dust mask (to prevent inhaling the litter dust) and wear disposable gloves. When finished, throw away the mask and gloves, and be sure to wash your hands thoroughly. The litter box doesn't pose any greater threat than the cat does if you follow the safety precautions.
Is it Ok to have a cat litter box in your room while being pregnant My cat litter box is in a storage room that is connected to my bedroom in an appartment I have no where else to put it?
It should be safe with a few precautions. Use the long handled plastic scoops to take the urine & feces out of the cat litter. Put this in another bag and take out to the garbage can. Use the self clumping type of cat litter. Don't use your hands and if you have to touch anything in the litter box, put some plastic gloves on first. Be sure to wash your hands after each time you clean up the litter box. Keep the litter box as clean as you can.

Is there a way to stop a cat from urinating on carpet instead of using litter box?
Make sure the old urine that is on the carpet is thoroughly cleaned up. Use some vinegar to help to cut the smell. Make sure your cat has easy access to a nice clean litter box. If the litter box gets dirty, then the cat will go elsewhere so keep it clean and changed.
Why is your cat not using litter box?
The litter box may not be clean enough for the cat or the cat feels uncomfortable in the litter box; a litter box should be cleaned every day or every second day, depending on how many cats you have. Maybe the cat does not know where the litter box is, if you move the litter box and don't show the cat its new location the cat won't know where the box is. The cat also mightn't be trained to use a litter box properly and might need a little help using it. Also, if a cat is very old, they mightn't realise they have to use the litter box or they do not have time to get to the litter box before they urinate etc. . The cat could also be sick.if your cat is just a kitten then the box might be too clean the kitten must smell where the toilet is.

A cat mat is used to keep the cat litter box area clean. A cat mat is placed under the litter box so that if any litter gets out of the litter box, it goes on the cat mat instead of the floor.
Do kittens always remember to always use their litter box?
When first litter training, it is a good idea to place kitty into the litter box after each meal, before bed, and a few more times a day. If kitty makes a mistake, thoroughly clean the area with disinfectant, and deposit the waste into the litter box, and place kitty there immediately after finding the mistake. Be sure to clean the litter box every day, since a dirty litter box will deter kitty, and will be hard to cure.
Why does your house-trained dog now go inside by the cat litter box and beside the toilet?
It sounds like your dog is marking due to the ammonia smell of the litter box and the toilet. Make sure you clean up with a non-ammonia based cleaner, and keep the litter box clean, or out of the dog's reach. If you can't do that, you might clean the box thoroughly and switch to a different litter. Hopefully that will help. If your dog is an un-neutered male, they are also more likely to mark, so neutering will probably help.
How do you stop my cats from coming in the house and using the bath room what is a good home remedy?
If your cat is an indoor/outdoor cat. You must provide a clean place for him or her to use the bathroom inside as well as out. Get a plastic litter box at a local pet store, put about 3" of litter in the bottom. Most litter box kits come with the plastic pan and scoop to clean it out with. Cats are very clean animals. They are also extremely smart. Show your cat where the litter box is located and it should not take long at all for him/her to know it's there and begin using it. I have six cats; four of which were strays. I have not had any problems with any of them going to the bathroom anywhere other than in the litter box. I promise you will not have a problem if you provide her/him with a litter box with clean litter and leave it in an area where they can access it. You need to scoop out the litter box at least every other day. Enjoy your cats, they depend on you, and provide unwavering love to you. :)
