Cat litter can contain a parasite called toxoplasmosis. It is very dangerous for the fetus to become infected with this. When I was pregnant my husband took over this chore. Medlineplus.org has a great deal of information on this parasite and I recommend that you go there (for all medical questions) for additional information on this topic. Just enter toxoplasmosis in the box preceding the Search Medlineplus command. Hope this helps.
