They can have their cats tested for toxoplasmosis . . .if they test negative, then there is nothing to worry about . . . ----- Original Message ----- From: Hideyo Yamamoto To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 6:22 PM Subject: RE: Pregnant women trying to get rid of her cats I need a help – I have a colleague who is trying to get rid of her two boy cats (declawed) sine she found out that she is pregnant – she wanted to keep the cats since she has had them since they were babies (they are now 4 years old), but her husband is panicking over what her doctor said about danger of having cats around the pregnant woman, and trying to get rid of the kitties.   Does any have literature or anything I can give to her to read so that it’s really not dangerous to have cats in reality – I just never heard of anyone who is actually having a problem – but am I wrong – any help is appreciated.  Thank you!   Hideyo
