Itâs not a matter of you cleaning their boxes at this point because there are ways of you doing it safely. Its a matter of HIM being an inconsiderate jerk and uncaring ass about his unborn child. He is disrespectful and I can only imagine how he will be when the baby gets here. Iâd seriously think about his role as a father and boot him out instead of the cats. Of course hes always going to be the father but every day duties of parenthood looks like is going to fall on you. I wish you the best of luck. He should have more respect for the woman carrying his child and help you.

Id rehome the boyfriend. Id be questioning if he cant help with that, why would he help with the baby?.
-
Id just wear gloves & a mask. If your cats are strictly indoor, the risk is lessened. Wash your hands & such, really well afterwards.

I changed the litter, but my husband pitched in for a lot of it too. Wear a mask if it makes you less worried, and wash your hands. Youâre probably in good shape with that already after months of practice
If he didnât willing bring the cats into the home for himself and the cats were solely yours they are not his responsibility. It is yours since they are your cats. But I Iove reading these comments of people saying dump the guy which I think is stupid just because he doesnât want the responsibility of the cats they may not be his doesnât mean he will not take care of his own child. Like seriously people grow up.
Tell him⌠youâre right the cats arenât yours, but this baby is, and making me change the cat litter can harm your baby and if youâre okay with that then clearly youâre not ready to be a father.

- I think he should help you, BUT
- recommendation is masks and gloves, AND if you do it every day, itâs lower risk because it takes a day or more to become infections (36 hours if I recall from my animal science degree
)

The litter is not the issue. Itâs the poop. Theres a bacteria in cat poop that can cause respiratory issues in infants.
I was always extra careful either wash hands right after or wear gloves.

A lot of excellent advice above. Another thought- is there a teen in your neighborhood that wants to make a few dollars to come clean it once or twice a week.

I would just rehome the cats. The pregnancy & newborn baby to come is more important. Its recommended that the entire litter box be changed every single day cause the toxoplasmosis eggs dont become infectious for near 24 hrs after the cat excretes them. Also cats tend to like curling up to a babyâs face and can stop their breathing. Not to mention the cat dander your baby will be exposed to. I love animals but Iâd play it safe.

That man is ridiculous.
I literally screenshotted this to my boyfriend and he wrote,
âDonât rehome the cats. Their job as a boyfriend is to be there for you when you need them. He better clean it out. If not just says a lot about his fathering skills
Itâs not hard at all. Youâre not even pregnant and Iâm willing to do it for you. Trying to help you out and love you. The little things make a difference.â
Lol throw the whole man away sis. You can do better. He is very childish and selfish if he canât help you with simple tasks! Especially when youâre growing his child 
yikes

If he isnt willing to help with the cat box bc the cats are yours, imagine when the baby is born. If you ask him to change a diaper, will he respond with nope the kid is yours.
Time to rethink your relationship with him.
Keep the cats, wear some gear to change the box.
Ditch the boyfriend.

Cats can only transmit toxoplasmosis for a limited span in their life. Unfortunately thereâs no way to know when they are capable so that is why it is advised not to change their litter while pregnant. My bf also refused to change my cats litter even tho he originally promised to after I said Iâd pay my brother to come change it for me weekly. Wear gloves and a mask and always wash your hands immediately after and you should be fine.

Wear gloves and wash your hands⌠unless your cats are outdoor cats your risk is incredibly low. Itâs parasites from dead critters that they ingest that cause toxoplasmosis.
