There are many diseases that can be transmitted through feces, but far fewer through urine. Diarrheal diseases are the most common. However, the most concerning one for pet owners is toxoplasmosis - from cat feces. If a pregnant woman is affected or in people with immunodeficiency conditions - such as AIDS, there is a higher risk of serious illness or even death. Also, in the case of the pregnant woman, the newborn could be seriously affected.
