Best Litter Boxes for Cats 2019
Cats are the most popular pets in the United States. According to the
latest version of the U.S. Pet Ownership & Demographics Sourcebook (2002
Edition) there were almost 70 Million pet cats in the United States. Why are
cats so popular? There are as many answers to this question as there are cat
owners, but the low health risks cats pose to their owners is certainly near
the top of this list. Even though the potential health risks cats pose to
people are small, it is important that cat owners are aware of these risks and
understand how to reduce theThe majority of all risks stemming from cat
ownership are associated with the cat litter box and/or cat feces. There are
two categories of risks. The first category contains health risks posed by
bacteria and parasites to both cat owners and their cats. The second category
contains injuries resulting from an automatic litter box or self cleaning
litter box.
Primarily the health problems experienced by cat owners or their cats come
from the first category and the most significant of these risks is called Toxoplasmosis.
Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by a tiny parasite called Toxoplasma
gondii which can be found in raw or undercooked meat, unwashed fruits and
vegetables, dirty cat litter boxes and outdoor soil where cat feces can be
found. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) more
than 60 million people in the United States may be infected with the Toxoplasma
parasite(1). Fortunately, very few people ever experience any symptoms because
a healthy person's immune system usually keeps the parasite from causing
illness. However, pregnant women and individuals who have compromised immune
systems, such as individuals infected with the HIV virus, are at risk and
should take precautions to avoid being infected by the parasite. For people in
this group a Toxoplasma infection could cause serious health problems to the
individual or to a pregnant woman’s unborn child.
