I agree with Rachel. Hopefully, you have planted the seeds. Maybe her motherly instincts will take over. I wouldn't want to scare her but there are many diseases a child can get from dogs or cats if not properly supervised or if the home is not sanitary. One is ringworm, which if not properly treated will cause scarring and more severe problems if the ringworm is located on the scalp. There's also cat- scratch disease. With all those cats, I would be surprised if she didn't have problems with her pregancy. My ex was my cat's best friend when I was pregnant. He would barely let me touch the cat let alone change the litter box. Excuse me if I sound harsh but although I am passionate about the treatment animals, the treatment and well-being of children comes first. That is not a healthy environment for her child or her pets. If you want to "gather some ammunition" for your next conversation, talk to your vet about transmissionable diseases. I think the study of the transmission of diseases from animals to humans is call Zoonotic (sp) diseases. I am really concerned about the baby.
