No you are not.: But get your lips off the cat. Practice some common sense hygiene. And if you are planning to be pregnant you will definitely need some cat restriction.

Toxoplasmosis: No. Quite simply. Keep kissing your cat. I make this answer based upon my thoughts that you are an otherwise very healthy young man. Having a healthy immune system will fully protect you from anything your cat can give you.

You're okay: Change your kitty every day and you're fine. The cysts take a few days to mature in cat feces. And most people who meet "toxo" recover perfectly well.
