Definitely not. A cat that doesn’t leave the house, doesn’t hunt and isn’t fed raw meat will probably never become infected and poses no threat to a pregnant woman. It is very hard to become infected from your cat. Cats become infected only once in a lifetime and even then excrete cysts in their faeces for only about 10 days. A cat that doesn’t leave the house, doesn’t hunt and isn’t fed raw meat will likely never become infected. That said, it is best for pregnant women to avoid manipulation with cat faeces, garden soil, raw meat and to forbid her cat from jumping on the dining table or kitchen worktop. The floor should be mopped more often in houses with dogs and cats.
