Can I keep a cat while preparing for pregnancy?

Don’t keep a cat when you’re trying to get pregnant. Cats can carry bacteria, and there are viruses such as Toxoplasma gondii in their feces. This virus can be transmitted to humans and animals, and can affect the growth and development of the fetus, leading to fetal malformation or miscarriage in pregnant women. Therefore, for the health of pregnant women and fetuses, cats should not be kept at home during pregnancy preparations. If you have a cat at home, it is best to give it away or simply keep it in a place where it will not come into contact with the cat and cat feces.
Precautions for raising cats during pregnancy:
1. Inject vaccines. Vaccinate your cat in advance and continue to vaccinate it regularly.
2. Avoid contact with other animals. Do not let your own cats come into contact with wild cats outside, as wild cats may carry infections.
3. Separate supplies. Separate cat supplies from other daily necessities at home and do not put them together to prevent bacterial infection.
4. Take a bath regularly. Pay attention to the hygiene of the kitten. It is best to bathe the kitten at least once a week to reduce the growth of bacteria.
5. Wash your hands frequently. Everyone should wash their hands with soap or hand sanitizer after handling cat feces or cleaning the cat's litter box.
6. Scientific feeding. Raw meat contains parasites to some extent, so cats should not be allowed to eat raw meat or raw water.
