My sister-in-law (25/F) and my mother in law are staying with us for 9 days for visiting. (They are from a different country) My partner (27/M) and I (26/F) are both working full time and we have a cat. I have had the cat for 10 years and his family has visited many times and stayed at our place. The cat was never a problem.

I gave up my office for them, so they have a room to sleep in and I am working from the bedroom. My sister-in-law is pregnant (5th month) and tested negative on toxoplasmosis antibodies. Our cat is allowed to go outside and hunts frequently. Therefore, we cleaned the apartment before they came. The cat is only allowed in our room, the anteroom and a few times in the kitchen (not while my SIL is in there). The other day, my partner left the door to the office open and the cat was 4 seconds in there - only on the floor. My SIL spent an hour crying and refusing to go into the room. I honestly didn’t know she was that scared. I read about it and realize it is a risk, but honestly wonder, why they did not communicate that previously? My husband said we need to be a little careful with the cat when she is staying with us, but didn’t specify. I mean, what am I supposed to do? Lock the cat out? She is a very social, needy cat & constantly wants to cuddle. If my SIL is that scared of the risk of infection, why would she stay with us at all? Or not at least communicate with us about her fear previously? If I was that scared, I honestly wouldn’t stay with people who own a cat. In my opinion, she should have booked a hotel or if it’s a financial problem, she could have stayed fewer days to reduce the risk

TLDR; my pregnant sister in law is very scared about getting infected with toxoplasmosis from my cat while staying with us. She didn’t communicate her fear. Am I wrong for thinking she should have booked a hotel then?
