Wasn't sure which forum to put this in.
I am six weeks pregnant. My husband has been cleaning the litter box so no problem there. However, last weekend, my cat ate a Christmas ribbon and was throwing up. That has pretty much stopped. During the time he was throwing up, he was rubbing his butt on the carpet much like dogs tend to do. There was no mess but it was odd. Yester day, I saw a brown streak near one of his hair balls, and thinking it was from his throwing up, I cleaned it up. My husband noticed some brown spots on the window sill that he likes to sit on.
I've been wondering if he might have had diarrhea and was wiping himself to clean up. He also loves to sit on my lap and I'm worried that I might have unknowningly gotten some on my jeans and then on to my hands because I tend to rest my hands in my lap. I have asked my husband if he has noticed anything in the litter box and he said that he doesn't check that close. Or could there possibly be another explanation?
Do I need to be concerned about toxoplasmia?
