A: There is NO health hazard from the ODOR.Pregnant women should avoid cat feces as it MAY carry the toxoplasmosis parasite which can cause fetal defects and problems. They may wear gloves and wash hands and change a litter box safely, especially with an indoor cat.The smell alone is not harmful, although distastefull.I suggest you call your local animal control or wildlife nuissance center and see if they can trap the cats under the house. Unneutered males produce a STRONG smelling urine. Once they are captured, do some work with boards and mesh and seal off the cralwspace to no more cats get there.But you have no health hazard from the oros entering the house.
