husbands an ass and won't change the litter box for me. how can I do it safely? 7w preg.

Question

I'm only 7weeks pregnant and my husbands an ass and refuses to change my cats litter box for me untill and am allowed to. Is there any way that I can change my cat litter box that will be okay?

Answer

Wear a gloves and a mask, and wash your hands. You can also get your cats tested for toxoplasmosis.

Answer

Send him articles explaining the dangers of changing a cat box while pregnant. Ask him if it's more important to him that he have a child at all over him not having to get near some kitty poop.

Answer

Buy an automatic litter box that cleans itself. Then once a week you can empty out the little bin while wearing gloves and a mask.
Really though, your husband is being as ass. Show him the info on toxoplasmosis and explain it's not you that you're worried about, it's the kid, so he needs to reconsider his stance on putting the child at risk.

Answer

I've always cleaned the litter box while pregnant. I just wash my hands really good afterwards. My doctor said it's not as big of a deal as everyone makes it out to be if you are actually washing your hands.

Answer

If he won't clean the litter box now imagine all the stuff he won't do once baby is here. No offense but he's a jerk!

Answer

I wear gloves and a mask so I can be sure to not touch my nose or mouth on accident.

Answer

I'd tell him that it's too dangerous and can cause alot of problems for you. The only save way I can think of is a mask and gloves. I know I changed my cats litter box a few times while pregnant but afterwards i'd get really dizzy.

Answer

Also keep in mind that good hygiene goes a long way. 2 of my cats actually had Toxoplasmosis 6 months before I got pregnant with my daughter. I used gloves to clean up after them while they had it and were being treated. My daughter is fine. Now all 3 have tested negative so when my husband is out of town I feel confident scooping their litter with gloves on.

Answer

My dr told me that changing or being around the litter box is a definite NO.

Answer

Wear gloves and change it daily. The longer the cat poop seats the higher risks it has to develop Toxoplasmosis. And make sure you wash you hands well.
