pregnant cat and baby

Pregnancy weakens the immune system and animals that are pregnant and harbouring any parasites will begin to shed eggs. Babies, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems are at risk for zoonotic infection (infections that both people and animals can get). I would keep the cat and baby separate for the time being to keep your baby healthy. Do not, however, get rid of your cat
, the risk is not that great.

Thankyou for ur response dolittle... I found the cat a few weeks ago and she was already pregnant that she would attack the baby or something...
Just be very careful if you don't know the cat that well she might get agressive after she has the kittens. I took in a stray one time and she was great for a few days then after that she tried to attack me and bite my head off like the devil got into her. She left a scar on my arm.

awww really...do you still have her?
I too took in an outside pregnant cat and as mentioned before it is best to keep baby away for several reasons....make sure momma has her own place in the house....if possible a room to herself with all her essentials would be best....or a large kennel....she will need her security when her babies arrive as well..............i was sooooooooo glad i kept mine in the office because she had given her babies ring worm and i have a two yr old daughter so she keeps away from that room....they are all being treated now ..... also...my cat is very very very scared and will attack...but when pregnant they change to a sweet loving cat.....but as soon as her babies arrived she was back to herself again...so beware but understand it will take time...i went in the room every day and now the babies are four wks old and momma loves me more than ever...she knows i wouldnt hurt her or the babies....but make sure u wash your hands before and after handling both momma and kittens so you do not bring about anything especially with your baby around........hope this helps and let us know when they arrive!!!!!!!!!
