Cats and Fertility

That’s 100% not true...

Cats have nothing to do with fertility. Perhaps they are confused with the fact that once you are pregnant, you should avoid scooping the litter box if possible due to the potential for toxoplasmosis. Even then, if it is cleaned every day, it's not really a concern. Wearing gloves while you scoop is sufficient.

I've never heard this before and honestly, I would just get another cat to make a point 😏😏😏

I’ve never heard of that .

Ppl say the weirdest stuff lol. I’ve never heard this but it’s bizarre. I’ve had cats all my life and my own in adulthood lol. I have a young child and pregnant with my second lol

Just the cat litter you don’t supposed to change while pregnant the cat can’t mess with fertility

having a cat has nothing to do with infertility. I got pregnant the first month of trying, had a cat all my life. This pregnancy i was pregnant by month 2 if trying, still have my cat. He sleeps with us and everything lol. The term cat lady is just someone with a bunch if cats, nothing to do with kids.

Over 50% of my family/friends have had a cat or 2 in their home while they got pregnant. I had 2 for at least a year before I got pregnant

No. Cats can cause toxoplasmosis from eating raw animals infested with the parasite and you can contract it from cleaning the litter box and not washing your hands and putting your fingers in your mouth. The parasite contracted before pregnancy causes cysts throughout your body and you are then immune for life. While pregnant, your child will contract it and it can cause problems of a large variety ranging from bad to unnoticeable. Just wash your hands and up to your elbows after messing with your cat litter. If you've always been a cat person or had cats since you were a child, you probably already have it. You're fine. It can't grow further than a cyst in human bodies.

Lol no totally false I swear people will believe anything
