I did alot of research on this due to the fact I have cats and was pregnant. According to my vet and GP .the only illness they can transmit to you that would be a threat to your pregnancy is toxoplasmosis which you would get by coming in direct contact with their feces (changing the litterbox) .most indoor cats do not have this disease as this is given to them by eating birds or rodents so mostly it's outdoor cats that have it....I would just stay away from their litterbox and you will be just fine .....not sure about your allergies I would see what the doc says about that.....
