My cat is an outdoor cat and often hunts / catches birds and mice etc.
I am 11w4d pregnant and a bit worried about toxoplasmosis. I always wash and peel fruit and veg, thoroughly cook meat etc and wash my hands after stroking the cat. I’m still scared about getting this as my cat is so active outside. I know the risks are higher with eating contaminated meat or salad etc but if I got toxo, i’d be always wondering whether i’d been wise to have a cat.
Just to confirm, I am NOT thinking of getting rid of my cat, just asking a question.
