Response from Dr. Feinberg
 Typically it is only kittens -- not grown cats -- that harbor toxo in their intestines. If you are HIV+, then either get someone else to change the litter box, or change it carefully, wearing disposable gloves and wash your hands thoroughly. If you're HIV-, then don't worry about it. |
