how bad is it...

[shann1214]

To clean the cats liter box ONE time. My finace does it everyday when he gets home from work, but its over time season so he wont be home for awhile and it HAS to be done asap. We have 2 cats who pee in the floor if the boxes are too full. Like what is it we should be around, something we shouldnt touch or smell? I know its in their poop. Just curious how bad itd be to do it one time.

@knufrio he HATES the liter box. Other than last night ive only cleaned it once since i found out. And thats bc i WENT OFF bc he didnt understand how crucial it was to clean it everyday until Oakley peed in the floor on his clothes and i made him clean it up lol

I had to clean the litter box cause my fiance refused. But I looked it up online and I read an article that said they can only have termites for 2 weeks after coming inside and if they never go outside it's a very low risk. Just in case I would put my shirt over my nose and mouth and washed my hands right after

Shan1214 I can relate, my husband and I have 4 cats! Cleaning the boxes was always my job but thankfully now hubby has taken over (he's more of a nervous wreck than I am lol)

@doulamommy thank you! Ive had one of my babies almost 2 yrs. The other one about 6 months. Oakley goes inside and out. Nala is STRICTLY inside bc shes not smart enough to come back. Lol

Yeah my midwife said if you've already done it for a year our so you've probably already developed an immunity to it so baby should be fine. However I would take certain precautions such as washing extra thoroughly after and covering your face.

Mysteriousbundleofjoy ammonia is only is cat urine, not fecal matter... Also it is not airborne and as long as you are in a ventilated area (so you don't get light headed) and you wash your hands afterwards or wear gloves you will be fine. The real worry is toxoplasmosis which can be in fecal matter (its not present in all cats especially if they are strictly indoors) however its wisest to be safe.

Thank you ladies. I just know were not suppose to. But thank you!!

Ammonia can be harmful but cover your face and wear gloves. The real risk is contracting toxoplasmosis. Which is food borne but also can be caused by exposure to feces. I have a cat, and scoop the box every couple days. Its not a big deal.

I do the litterbox at my house...not everyday but almost and its fine..I just wear gloves and something that covers my mouth and nose my baby is healthy and fine and due next monday

Breathe*

[mysteriousbundleofjoy]

Namonia its air born poop.. it is toxic to even breath for the baby it may just smell bad to you n me but it has a high chances of harming your baby if you change it

[joceeykittykitty]

Put on gloves. Try wrap your face with a bandana,or,something. I honestly don't know enough information,but I know,it's dangerous and considered a risk to the baby: (

If u do just be careful not to touch any litter and wash ur hands after.
