If you are pregnant, can you still keep a cat at home? This seems to have become an old topic. Some people raise cats during pregnancy, but their families don't allow cats. They have a big quarrel at home and simply stop raising cats.

So how to view this issue correctly? Can I raise a cat during pregnancy? Let’s talk about this topic today.

The biggest factor in raising a cat during pregnancy is the fear of being infected with Toxoplasma gondii from the cat at home during pregnancy. The main factors for cats to be infected with Toxoplasma gondii are eating raw meat and contact with stray cats and dogs, while humans are mainly infected with Toxoplasma gondii in cats through contact with cat feces.

If you had a cat at home before you got pregnant, as long as you don’t feed the cat raw meat and vaccinate the cat regularly and deworm it regularly, there will be no problem. Most families keep cats almost in captivity, so they are almost isolated from stray cats and dogs from the outside world.

Various tasks such as shoveling poop, bathing the cat, and taking care of the cat can be left to the husband. Therefore, as long as you raise the cat according to the correct "posture", you can be pregnant.
