Asking you to get rid of your cat seems a bit extreme to me!

The only precaution I was told to take was not to handle (clean out) the cat poo from the litter.

I friend of mine said that her doctor did some sort of a blood test to see if she had been exposed to that toxic thing that's in cat's poo - she hadn't and she didn't need to worry about it for her pregnancy.

I've never heard of cat scratches causing problems for an unborn baby... Have you tried googling it?

I'd be thinking about a different doctor maybe....

I reckon millions of women have contact with cats when pregnant. If yours is an indoors cat (as oppossed to one that is catching rats at the local tip) I reckon you'll be fine.
