Possibly: All pets have the potential to pass on germs and parasites. The one you may have heard about is toxoplasmosis. Cats can be the source of this disease. Toxoplasmosis can cause fetal abnormalities. Obstetricians recommend that pregnant women, or women who are trying to become pregnant not handle litter boxes. We derive a lot of happiness from our pets. Just maintain good hygiene and vet. care
