Okay can someone please help me settle something.. So my cousin is about 6 weeks pregnant and she was calling me freaking out because she was around her cats litter box when they went pee and they moved the litter around, (boxes have lids) now she thinks this is going to harm the baby or make her have a miscarriage... is this true? Wouldn't she actually have to change the litter and be right there for it to affect anything??

@cmsolberg92 yeah because you can still smell them. One of the first things a dr usually tells a woman when they find out they're pregnant is to stay away from litter boxes.
@cmsolberg92 yes she needs to stay away from the litter box as much as possible
@danielswifey i believe her littler boxes are in the back entry way by the door they come in and out of, should she avoid that area and use the front door?
My sister looked into it (has 3 cats) and it's usually only if your cats are outdoor cats and eat actual meat. Indoor cats litter usually aren't dangerous, but she should still change the litter with gloves and always wash her hands really well.
Being around it just once isn't going to hurt her but she needs to try and stay away from it in the future. The ammonia smell from the cats urine is what's bad for the baby.
Like I said, she'll be fine as long as she doesn't clean them. She's fine if she happens to be near them for a little bit like maybe coming in through the door. But if she is that paranoid, she shouldn't have cats. 🤷♀️ her doctor will tell her the same thing and I have a litter box in my small apartment and we are all fine 😊
