Gross-- but better than these ppl I know, they and their whole house smell like cat pee I gag everytime I go over there

ugh that reminds me of somebody I know. Lol walking into their house smells like your in a bottle of amonia, and then plus the icky poo smell amd yuck dirty house ickies. Lol

Yeah... It is gross. We keep our little box in a part of the house that nobody goes in so it won't make the entire thing stink!

if you are preg (???? Can't rmemeber) it is best for you not to change the cat box...Probably already knew that, huh...Sawweee

Yeah cuz of toxoplasmosis but having spent my life around dogs, cats and horses and my child hood making mud pies I can probably guarantee I already had it, like I didn't have to have my tetanus booster cuz I already had immunity (horses carry that in their bowels) but thanks.
I was pregnant up til 28th october when I had to have an emergency hysterectomy because my uterus had ruptured into my abdominal cavity.

Yea im probably immune too...

Lol we all know that we "should" wash our hands after we stroke the dog/cat/horse/animal and we all know that we should never try to eat the mud pies once the sun has baked them.... But....
Ahhh well never mind as the old saying goes "you have to eat a peck of dirt before you die" a peck is an old old measurement that is equvalent to 20 pounds I do believe!!!

Lol

Haha luckily we don't have a cat (:

that is awful, how far along were you I ahve never heard of that b4

18 and a half weeks. I'm not surprised you haven't heard of it. The bereavement midwife had only ever heard of one other case in 35 years of doing her job and none of the gynae docs had seen a case before. I was told it is probably appraoching the one in a million status.
You see I was born with only 1/2 my reproductive organs, only one tube and ovary (left side) and only half a uterus which instead of the 2 halves joining my one half closed round onitself so one side was more like a thick membrane instead of muscle wall.
However I still have my only ovary (no hrt and if one we want I could have my eggs harvested, mixed with steve's sperm and incubated by a surrogate) and I have my cervix.
Woohoo no periods
i'll bump a post for you called "life and death surgury"

Ok thanks

Ummm do ur cats eat wet food??

Yup they have 2 tins of kit'e'kat and a dish of dry biccies.
I can't put them on completely dry food because it is soo bad for thier health. Cats only take in a small amount of water each day and by only giving dry food they are forced to drink larger quantities which their bodies don't cope well with, then that can lead to all sorts of urinary problems.
Guess I just have to cope with smelly cats.

Hey kia, why do they say pregnant women cant change litter boxes? Cause I want a kitty cat but my doc says no I cant have one something about the feces or urine in there its like dangerous for the unborn fetus, but they havent exactly explained why it was bad or dangerous, have you heard of this?

Yes, cats carry the toxoplasmosis bacteria in their faeces.
If you have had the disease (a bllod test can tell) then you are immune but if your first blood test is after getting pregnant they can't tell if you had it before you got preg.
If you get toxoplasmosis when preg it can lead to blindness of the child, and other birth defects.
However many wome continue to look after their cats, just remember to always wear thick rubber gloves when doing the cat potty, wash your hands well with anti-bacterial soap afterwards and always wash your hands after touching the cat(s) before preparing food or eating or putting your hands to your face.
See cats (horrible critters lol) lick themselves and spread the bacteria over themselves (some cats are also immune and don't have it anyway) but after they have been in their litter box they also walk all over everything including kitchen surfaces.
So if docs had their way we would all be preceeded by and anti-bacterial mist lol

Kia its the wet food that is making the poo smell bad... My cat use to always eat wet food than we stopped giving it to her cuz she is too fat lol anyways it made the poo not stink....

Ive never heard that dry food is bad for cats... Yea, wet food does make it stnk, bad... Also cheaper dry food will do it too.

I have 3 kittys my otto died like a few weeks ago he was 9, he liked to lick my ear, ok I sound like a 5 y/o at show and tell sorry
