Oh my goodness! :kimchi:

So, the thing about toxoplasmosis is that it's not nearly as prevalent as it's made out to be. You can catch it from cat poo if you're not careful, yes, but it's only in cat poo for two weeks after the cat became infected by the parasite. The cat has to get infected again for their poo poo to have the parasite again, and they only catch it from eating meat that's carrying the parasite.

So if your cat is indoors-only (and they should be), and you don't feed them uncooked meat, chances are you don't have a T. gondii infection.

At least in the case of beavers, every time I see clips like that go around they're listed as rescues.

Can't speak for the rest, but in the US at least hedgehogs are available as captive bred pets, not taken out of the wild or anything.

and this... this? did we discover the stuffed mouse family? Timothy?

Context: ... Not super blessed, more insane.

Propaniac posted:

Trust me, this one is better than the title suggests.

I'm [F34] pregnant and struggling with my husband's [M35] lack of support regarding my in-laws behaviour. How can I improve the situation?
Sorry for the length, I've explained this on r/AITA but since the common opinion is that I'm not at fault, I was told to look for advice elsewhere.

SOME INFO: I've been happily married for 10 years now. I'm still very much in love and he's my best friend and we normally never argue! I'm not even sure if this was an argument but it left me feeling lonely, unsupported and isolated from his side of the family.

The relationship with his parents has been strained. They own a number of mouse figurines; they are made from different materials and one is a giant papier-mach� one called Timothy. Each of them has a whole character profile with backstories, personal preferences, family relations etc. and all of them are seen as part of the family (Timothy even as my in-laws� grandchild).

What unsettles me, is that they constantly talk as them with other mice or each other/guests. They�ll use a high-pitched tone and they�ll talk in a manner that little children would use. For instance, my husband�s father will squeakingly say �My tummy hurts, I am hungry!� while wiggling a mouse plushie in my face. I�m then expected to answer the mouse and get it, not him, something to eat. They do this constantly. In fact, most of the time, the mice are talking, not them.

Til now, I�ve never said anything judgy but I usually avoid talking to the mice and instead address the person talking. I�ve never talked as a mouse. His parents have noticed this and have often tried forcing me into it. They are visibly upset that I won�t participate and have �gifted me� mice figurines on several occasions that I haven't used. I understand that it�s probably them welcoming me into the family but I�m just too creeped out by it. When they visit us, they force me to get them out of the closet and display them and I feel invaded by that. (At the same time, I feel silly about feeling invaded by inanimate objects.)

Today, it escalated when we announced that I am pregnant and my father-in-law replied that it would be wonderful �to soon have two grandchildren� (by the first, he meant Timothy). For the first time, I got angry and said that he didn�t have a grandchild yet and that my child wasn�t comparable to a papier-mach� mouse. They got very angry and I got screamed at as Timothy for disrespecting him. He called me stupid.

This is the conflict I need advice for:

Instead of supporting me, my husband stayed silent the whole time and later told me that many people's stuffed animals talk and that he can�t understand how I am so tolerant in everything but this. I was crying at this point but he didn't comfort me which is very unlike him and how I know that he is truly upset as well.

I've been very sad as I'm a family-oriented person and I've always regretted that I don't feel included in his side of the family. His parents have always acted cold towards me although I've made an effort to take a genuine interest in their lives and to build a bond with them. After my outburst, it�s obviously even worse. I feel lonely and unsure and I don�t know how to act anymore or how to make him understand that I need him to do something! I don't even know what I want him to do exactly. I'm scared that he will reject me for being "difficult" and putting him in an uncomfortable position but at the same time I feel like I can't stand this anymore. I'm scared that they'll do this to our child or make them feel unloved.

So, I'm looking for advice on how to deal with this situation.

Should I press the issue or accept the situation and try to avoid them? How should I deal with this once our child is born?

TL;dr My in-laws communicate as and via mouse figurines who they see as family members. I don�t want to participate and told them my child would be different from and more important than a mouse grandchild. They got really angry and, instead of supporting me, my husband thinks I should be more tolerant.
