I have 3 cats and their very loveable but I recently find out that I'm 3mounths pregnant.I'm very scared because everyone is telling me that the cats hair can kill my unborn baby.I want to know if that's true?

Cat hair cannot kill a human baby, but with any type of animal fur, it carries germs. I am sure you won't have the cats in your nursery, as I wouldn't allow that either. Your baby won't be laying on the floor, I don't think, where anyone laying on the floor would come in contact with just about anything.

Just use your common sense, enjoy your cats, enjoy your baby when it comes along.

I'm a cat lover too. I did give up my two cats after finding out I was pregnant. One started marking or spraying. The other cat liked to sleep on top of my head. I couldn't stop thinking about my baby with this cat on her face. Gave them both up to loving homes. I was never without one before, or after... I love cats

It's an old wives tail... lol.

As long as hubby cleans the cat box you will be okay.
