Hi ian

How are you?

Hope ur feelin better n.less alone in the world.

I still miss my cat!:-(

Yes interesting article but im not readin too much into it to be honest

Too much hysteria already by pregnant women abandoning their cats who could keep

them if they got someone else to change litter trays etc

It upsets me how flippant people are regards a responsibility towards animals

that are supposed to be loved.

And if hygiene is followed why should anyone be infected by toxyplasmosis?

I would imagine it to be a rare occurance,definately not a reason to stop having

felines around anyway!

Sad girl, Agree. Ian not heard from you forever, how are you? Although I can

think of a few people I would like to clean the kitty box so they would be under

the spell of my cat:) My cat comes inside but has her claws and rarely uses the

kitty box. Like sad girl I read a lot into it. Agree it is one more thing

ignored by the CDC that is now rampant. However cats are not the only

transmission. Having a indoor cat that is mature and not consuming wildlife is

much less prone to infection.

http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/toxoplasmosis/

Toxoplasmosis is considered to be a leading cause of death attributed to

foodborne illness in the United States. More than 60 million men, women, and

children in the U.S. carry the Toxoplasma parasite, but very few have symptoms

because the immune system usually keeps the parasite from causing illness.

Toxoplasmosis is considered one of the Neglected Parasitic Infections, a group

of five parasitic diseases that have been targeted by CDC for public health

action.
