Your reminder that if you own cats that don't go outdoors they are not a risk factor for toxoplasmosis. Only outdoor and stray cats get the parasite. Most cases of toxoplasmosis come from eating undercooked meat in any case.

There's no way for the parasite to know whether it's inside or outside. There are many ways that it can travel to an indoor location outside of a cat.
