I love kittens/ cats ! =^.^=
I adopted one too while i'm pregnant. My bf did the cleaning of course but just be careful I used to make him get out of the room while he was cleaning it.

We got a kitten while we're pregnant too but never clean the litter box! Ever. Make him do it haha the risks of an unborn baby catching the toxoplasmosis could cause brain damage or blindness. It would be much better to just have him change the litter.
