Oh it makes my blood boil these stupid old wives tales still doing the rounds!
It's something ignorant people use to rid themselves of poor cats that have harmed no-one.
I've been around cats all my life - and wouldn't have thought of getting rid of my then furbabies when I was pregnant. Although with Elizabeth - I felt we all wanted to leave home for the first 4 months - little perisher never stopped crying!!
Even when Elizabeth was diagnosed as being asthmatic at 1 year old - the cat stayed - yes she did show an allergy to cat fur, when she was tested at 5 - the cat still stayed - I'm convinced the process of re-homing our dear Kisi (RB) would have caused more trauma - and when Elizabeth was poorly in bed - who stayed with her all day - Kisi! Even our doctor thought she may get some resistance to her allergy if she was around a cat - it was just the one at that time! I'm convinced there's such a thing as too clean - kids neeed to get used to a little dirt.
Gone right off topic here sorry - but suffice it to say a sensible woman who doesn't do the litter tray won't have any probems.
