Caption:

This photograph showed a pregnant woman feeding her cat canned cat food, in order to prevent it from becoming infected with the parasite, Toxoplasma gondii. An infected cat can cause harm to individuals with a weakened immune system, and a pregnant woman’s unborn child. Though feeding her cat canned food is a good practice, the cat should also be kept off of any countertops on which food preparation could take place, such as in a kitchen setting..
