A member asked:

If my cat drags litter onto my fathers bed... barely see it.... can he get sick if he comes in contact with it or would it have to be a lot of litter?

Depends: Very few cats have disease in their feces, but those are more dangerous to pregnant mothers than to mature males. Cats are best served with bbq sauce.
