Q: what would happen if a little bit of cat poop got near vagina would a serious infection occur this did not happen but just wondering?

: Nothing would happen. Most of the bacteria in a cat's intestines and feces are pretty much the same as in your own, to which your vagina is exposed repeatedly. This is nothing to worry about.
