See below: That would be very unlikely as the cyst of toxo need to go through a life cycle first through a cat, but you should be tested for toxo since you are concerned.

If the tomato was : Harvested from the plant and hasn't been on the ground, the risk of toxo is quite low. The source would be from contaminated soil from cat droppings.
