I agree with the previous post in response to ferrets and pregnancy. If your wife has been around cats all her life, risk of infections is slim to none. Even if she hasn't, just making sure that she's not the one to change the litter box should take care of that. I had two cats when i was pregnant and i was fine. I dont even know if ferrets can transmit toxoplasmosis. if they can, it's slim that they've been exposed. i would definately keep the ferret. i kept my cats, and they were outside a lot. michelle [Posted in FML issue 1827]
