Ma’am, a baby and cat poop are TOTALLY different.

You knew that litter wouldn’t be good for you while pregnant but there’s a lot of women that changed the dang litter box like they always had before. If you’re that worried, use a mask with gloves or the litter that doesn’t get dusty. Or get rid of the cats cause if you’re that worried about your well being over a litter box……
Gloves and a mask and do it yourself.

Toxoplasmosis is a real thing and extremely dangerous for pregnant mothers from litter boxes. If any of you don’t understand it, google it but damn the man could change it for her.
Wear a mask. Take of your cats. Hope he helps with baby
Put on a N95 mask and do it yourself
Wear a mask
Its fine. Ans get use to doing it yourself. Cata are easier to care for. But I dont do litter boxes either. Your cats, your problem. His baby, his problem. He will be way more attentive to the baby then he is to you or your cats.

You are def not suppose to change cat litter but if you have to you can with a mask gloves wash your hands good! My husband was like this when we met he didn’t really consider my well being but after 5 years he does stuff and I do stuff we don’t enjoy for the other person because we love them. Also depends how young he is. Immaturity plays a roll

Do it yourself. Change it more often so the pee isn’t as much. Like others have stated, you can wear a good mask and that’ll help. I changed the litter with one of my pregnancies because I HAD to.
To be honest, you’re gonna have a problem with boyfriend anyway if he HATES your cats… hes not going to respect your animals… and if hes baby daddy, how does he plan to be around for baby if he’s gotta live with his sick mom?

I’ve been three pregnant three times and had to change cat litter. It’s called put on a mask. Some rubber gloves and scoop your cats litter. Than wash your hands afterwards. Both me and my kids were fine

Get rid of him and then get over it. If ur worried, wear a mask and gloves when changing their box. And use low dust litter. Shower after. And change it more often. Cleanliness is the key. The cleaner u keep the area the safer it will be. Ur cats, ur responsibility. And yes u can prob assume he will do the same with ur child.

I think if you scoop their feces daily it doesn’t have time to get toxoplasmosis I believe I read that it takes 24 hours. I used an n95 mask that was fit tested to my face. If your boyfriend doesn’t want to help you out by doing simple things like kitty litter than you need to sit down and have a chat about your future together. Good luck momma.

First off it’s only dangerous if you don’t do it often and the toxoplasmosis grows AND you don’t wash your hands!! Second they are YOUR cats not his, he shouldn’t be required to help you care for the animals you took on before y’all got together. Y’all don’t live together. And this does not indicate how he will be with the baby because SHE IS HIS and I’m sure he’s going to be a good dad considering he takes care of his sick mom. I only moved in with my boyfriend 2 months ago, he’s had his cats much longer than that and he has never even asked me to clean their litter boxes. Actually I was told I was not allowed to because they were his responsibility. Go clean out those babies litter box, wash your hands and grow up!!

Get up and change the cat liter. You’re ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. In the amount of time it takes you to complain you could’ve had it changed and sat down to watch tv. They are your cats as well, if you can’t be responsible for them then what makes you think you can take care of a baby? Since it’s a clear sign of how one would be with a baby, it says you can’t take care of one either. Just get up, change the liter and go on.

Ask him if he would wear a mask 
so he
Doesn’t smell The cat litter and if he
Would put on throw away gloves 
if he would do it then ,
I agree with him. They are your cats. When my mum decided to keep my step dads cat, I was very upfront and said “gross, I’m not cleaning up after that cat”. I too HATE cats. Mum asked me one day to change the litter, I replied with “only if you pay me”. Cats are effing gross. Never liked them, never will. Won’t even allow my kids to get a cat until they move out of my house.
Wear gloves and a mask.
They are your cats, not his. I see where you are coming from, but they aren’t his responsibility. If he wasn’t around what would you do?

when people show you who they are, BELIEVE THEM, PERIOD. Trust your gut. To many people think/assume that a person will eventually change. Often times it’s wishful thinking and nothing changes. Find someone who will help you it’s BETTER to err on the side of CAUTION for the SAFETY of your baby than to have regrets if something were to go wrong. He needs to man up. I find it sad people find this laughable & as usual putting all the responsibilities on the woman.

My dr gave me a N95 mask and gloves because my husband would throw up from trying to change it. I don’t let my older kids change it because they make too big of a mess anyways.
Either get rid of cats or hire someone to do it he he is right those r your cats not his so they are your responsibility u chose to take on 3 cats then got pregnant so that is on u.

Sweetie you can change cat litter. If you really feel it’s too dangerous, then your cat needs a better home. You know there is nothing super dangerous about it. Each mom gets this info. You come off as very entitled and demanding and frankly, I wouldn’t wanna help you either. I’d be worried about how YOU would care for your baby when you’re so willing to absorb false information and demand someone else take up your responsibility. I’d be prepared to be a single mom with the way you tackle issues in an entitled, princess manner.

Get a cat litter bag, line your litter box and change it once a week. I’m pregnant and that’s what I do. It is like changing the trash. Stop being a self entitled brat

They aren’t his cats nor does he live in the home. You should have made arrangements for the cat litter boxes to be cleaned or take the proper precautions. It’s quite sad you’re comparing how he will potentially be as a parent because he won’t change your cats litter boxes. Some people just do not like animals at all. They are your responsibility not his. Hire someone to come in and clean them.
I think he should pitch in and help out …
Would it kill him to change a litter box?

I believe if your cats stay in all the time and you don’t have mice it’s okay. They have to come in contact with an infected mouse to get toxoplasmosis.

They are not his cats. Usually if someone is not a huge fan of cats, they don’t want to dig through a litter box. Some people can’t do it. I personally do not have cats for that reason alone, I don’t want to do the litter box and it makes me nauseous if I have to. Put a mask on and clean your hands after real good. Remember your going to have a baby in the house with that litter pan you can’t change
I mean he’s right they aren’t his. You know he doesn’t like them. I don’t think it plays into how he will be with a baby. I don’t like cats either.
Just change the damn cat litter. You’ll be fine.

Get a cat nanny or a mask and just do it yourself. They’re walking all over your house with their litter paws.
You can’t rely on other people to do things for you, regardless if they are you significant other or not. That’s unfortunately not how the world works. I wore a ventilator mask when I was pregnant & scooping the litter box. Then when the baby is born, you do the litterbox then go take a shower immediately after. It’s really quite simple. Stop being lazy.

And people still have cats? I don’t get how y’all stand the pure smell of amonia 
If you had the cats prior to pregnancy and they are indoor cats that do not catch rodents it’s fine to change it yourself. Just wear a mask and gloves and wash your hands after.

I wore a mask and gloves when I cleaned my cat litter box. I think he’s a red flag if you have to convince him to care for yours and both your baby’s well being to do a simple task which convincing him to basically provide basic human necessities and decency is concerning. Good luck

Okay wear a mask and gloves and change it yourself and wash your hands after. They are NOT his cats and I’m sorry if he’s talking care of his sick mom at home, I’m NO way should he have to come over to your place and change your litter box because you’re obviously too lazy to do it, and just because he doesn’t like the cats or take care if them, again, because they aren’t his and he doesn’t live there, does not mean he’s going to treat the baby bad. If you don’t want to do it yourself than rehome the cats…. I’d be more worried about how you’re going to treat the baby than him if you expect him to change your cats litter box that don’t even belong to him

I have 3 cats, my partner would do the litter tray, he does not live with me full time so there were occasions where I done the litter tray while I was pregnant. Our son is happy and healthy. Just make sure when you do it your careful and take take extra care, glove up and mask up

Cats also spread disease so to worry about one you have to worry about the other.I don’t blame him I wouldn’t change it neither.
Only if you have Indoor outdoor cats is this true… Either way put a face mask on your good.
Throw on gloves and get it done. Life is too short to be arguing over changing cat litter. As long as you don’t ingest the soiled litter you will be fine.

Put gloves on and change it yourself. You can also put a mask on if you feel it’s necessary. I changed my cats litter through my pregnancies and doctor said as long as I had gloves on I was good to go. Plus, it’s your cat not his. Your responsibility not his. Do you go to his house? Does he demand you help take care of his sick mother?

First of all unless the cats are outdoor cats ur chances of getting sick are slim to none do some research!! Second wear a mask and gloves …if u still cant for whatever reason get disposable litter boxes then no little scooping required just throw away the dirty one and put down a clean one . That man is already taking care of his sick mom and has a prego girlfriend and ur worried about urself and ur dam cats and u think he will have a prob with a baby??? I think ur prego hormones are running away with u!!!

How have you guys made it this far if he “hates” your cats?
You should have discussed this before getting pregnant in my opinion… but you didn’t so… I would get creative and dress up like Darth Vador to do my cats boxes. Mask up glove up and clean up super well after. Buy the right kind of mask too!
You KNEW how he felt before. So deal with it.
It does sound like he is an ass… but you knew how he felt before getting pregnant 
Be a WOMAN:muscle: do what you HAVE to do to take care of YOUR babies girl 
Get creative and make sure they are well taken care of no matter what!
You got this and TALK TO YOUR MAN… Y’all better be doing some discussing about parenting before this baby comes.

So many mean comments on here. Apparently a lot of people aren’t in good relationships it seems since they all say not his responsibility.
In a healthy relationship people don’t say it’s not my responsibility so don’t listen to all those people that are unhappy about their own relationships.
If he went to a doctor appt with you the doctor could explain. This is a huge red flag though I am sorry to say. Acting like that even when the baby isn’t born to me means he won’t be of much help later on.

he seems as if he is not respecting you. This cat is his due to the fact you are his girlfriend. Start planning to become independent from him in all aspects. The future with him seems as if he is a bit selfish. Ask a family member and trust your gut, if you do not wan to clean it then call a friend. And get a support network going. Blessings.

If they’re completely inside cats, it probably isn’t a problem anyway but just wash your hands really well when you’re done. It’ll be fine. Or invest in a self cleaning litter box. Yes you still have to change to holding container but it’s less time you’re exposed to it
