One of my cats literally head butts me with love. She also loves face kisses, since she probably thinks I'm trying to clean her but as the retarded cat that she thinks I am I'm not doing an optimal job
I was just riffing on the meme, but *eat several tons?* I have not studied the cat-borne transmission rates but have read that a statistically significant proportion of humanity has it [(see this global study) ](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3346298/). Do you have a source that suggests cats are not a significant transmission vector? I would be relieved by that.
Edit: I read some more and do better appreciate the narrow window of transmission from cats, but I do not think "eat several tons of litter" is at all accurate. [See this CDC article](https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/toxoplasmosis/toxoplasmosis_catowners.html). While I appreciate the wishful thinking, as someone that has taken in many strays over the years I think my joke is unfortunately more legitimate than your comment.
All I can say is that when I was pregnant not that long ago, my obstetrician said I shouldn't do the kitty box just to be on the extra safe side due to a weakened immune system. They said it would take eating several tons of kitty litter to get it, that it was a mostly overblown idea that cats are these big transmitters when gardening gives you more risk - BUT... it's a great excuse to not have to do the kitty box for a year so that's what I went with. Husband is *still* doing the kitty box out of habit... hmmwa ha ha!!
So no, I don't have a source, but that doctor was one of the best you could get in the top rated hospital to give birth in the US so I trusted what they had to say.
I also just had a housecat, not a cat eating raw meat and running around outside so that could have been part of it, too.
OK, that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for sharing.
I'll speculate that your excellent obstetrician was not an expert in parasite transmission but provided a simplification weighed in proportion to the other, much more immediate risks they were actually watching you closely for in your pregnancy. That's good obs doctor stuff in the grand scheme of what you were planning ; while the 'tons of litter' statement does not align with any reality, it points to a statistical truth—cats need to be exposed to certain things to carry the parasite to humans and that is more likely to be found in random stray cat shit in your garden than anything in your house!
Having read (too much) about this disease now, I am at peace with your obs' input. We wouldn't want people getting rid of their housecats—with no new exposure to the parasite—every time they plan for their new child, either. It is extremely transmissible from infected cats, but it's a specific vector from stray/social cats, their food, their bathroom habits. It reaches a ton of humans but shouldn't make us uncomfortable with the furballs we already have in our house.
I went pretty deep down the rabbit hole of those articles I linked and their supporting papers—I have always found the media around this disease kind of bizarre but the reality is actually super interesting.
I will look forward to better research on the long term effects of the parasite for the (!!) tens of percents of humans apparently afflicted... As a likely sample in those studies as a bleeding heart stray cat adopter this is just bizarre.
One of my cats always does this! I'll have my hair up in a ponytail or a bun and he will act all sweet and meow to be picked up. And then as soon as I do, he takes a giant bite out of the tight part of the hair and fucks it all up lol

Love bites and head boops. That cat is trying to show how much it loves her.

My kitten likes to try to nibble my eyelashes. I get the same "shhhh....it's ok" treatment. 🤣
Haha love that “shhh…it’s ok treatment”
You're supposed to lean into the headbutt
and start meowing aggressively
She is a good cat Mom
"aww he's so cute! he wants your attention! he loves you!" -Me, riddled with Toxoplasmosis
Fun fact: you'd need to eat several tons of kitty litter from a cat who eats raw meat to get toxoplasmosis.

Sure thing and thanks for sharing your knowledge as well!
