A member asked:
I was wondering could my cat give me toxoplasmosis and cause my late miscarriage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, and maybe: Cats are the obligate carriers of toxo and it is definitely possible to contract it from your cat (from the droppings actually.) You can get tested (toxoplasma titer) before becoming pregnant to see if you are already exposed and immune, when pregnant limit contact with the cat and get someone else to clean the cat's box.
