Can I keep a cat while preparing for pregnancy?

You can keep kittens during pregnancy. Seeing this, many people may ask, cats have cytomegalovirus, what should I do if I am infected? Yes, it is true that cats have cytomegalovirus, but all animals except cats have cytomegalovirus, and cytomegalovirus is generally not directly transmitted to humans through small animals. Unless you eat cat excrement containing cytomegalovirus eggs, you will be infected with cytomegalovirus. Normal contact and interaction will not cause infection with cytomegalovirus.

What should you pay attention to when raising kittens during pregnancy?

1. Do a good job of deworming. If you are really worried about cytomegalovirus, it is best to go to a pet clinic to deworm your cat. 2. Don’t touch cat’s excrement. As mentioned earlier, cat’s excrement contains cytomegalovirus, so you must be careful not to touch cat’s excrement directly to avoid accidentally getting it into your mouth. 3. Pay attention to hygiene. Pay attention to the cat's cleaning work and bathe the cat on time, but pay attention to the frequency. Generally, once a month is best. And it should be noted that kittens cannot be bathed within three months after birth, otherwise it will easily lead to the death of the kitten.

How to prevent cytomegalovirus

1. Avoid contact with animal excrement, including fruits and vegetables that may be contaminated by animal excrement. If you touch it, wash and disinfect your hands immediately.

2. Do not eat uncooked meat. Raw beef, mutton, fish, etc. should be stored separately from cooked vegetables.

3. Separate raw and cooked foods in the kitchen, and process raw and cooked vegetables separately, such as using two chopping boards, two knives, etc.

4. Develop the habit of washing hands and disinfecting before meals and after defecation. People who keep animals should pay more attention to hygiene.

The saying that pregnant women cannot keep kittens is wrong. Keeping kittens will not affect pregnancy. We just need to pay attention to daily sanitation and clean the cat's feces and food bowl at least once a day. Now pregnant mothers can relax and no longer have to worry about not being able to keep cute cats during pregnancy, or whether keeping cats will affect pregnancy. As long as everyone pays attention to daily hygiene, they can avoid the invasion of toxoplasmosis.
