Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!
Just don't put your hoover on ebay when you have finished with it!
That's a preference, personally, I wouldn't like a bunch of crap in my swiffer quicker picker upper.
If you'd like your vacuum to be a breeding ground for bacteria, sure, continue doing it. Otherwise, dispose of the waste properly - into the garbage in a bag.
Also, it's not normal for your cat to do it's business around the house. Perhaps it's because you are lazy and don't clean his litterbox, but it could also be a sign of illness.
Though it sounds innocent you are in fact getting a bacteria load in your vacum that will no matter what get sprayed back into the air, it is never a good idea to clean poop that way.
Try letting the poor cat out.then you wont have to be so lazy.
ugh yuck yes stop doing it. that's so disgusting. what about when it gets mashed between the hoover brushes and then you hoover the bedrooms etc. and also surely its easier to get a bag and pick it up than get the hoover out , plug it in and hoover it up then put th hoover away. seriously that's rancid
Just as long as you don't use it for anywhere else and it doesn't end up on my doorstep afterwards
I'm totally okay with it : )
Oh and…make sure you have insurance for the hoover…you don't always know what your cats been chewing on.

I think there's a danger of bits getting stuck in the hoover tubes to be honest. Best way to pick up the bits is get some loo paper round them and drop them down your loo.
If you are serious about your question, and isn't just a joke, then YES, it is very dangerous to vacuum your cats littler and have it sit in the vacuum cleaner for any length of time. Especially if you have any family members or friends visit whom are pregnant.
One word:
TOXOPLASMOSIS !!!!!!!!
Toxoplasmosis is a common disease found in birds and mammals across North America. The infection is caused by a parasite called toxoplasma gondi and affects 10 to 20 out of every 100 people in North America by the time they are adults
How is it spread?
All animals and birds can be infected with the toxoplasmosis parasite. The parasite enters the muscles of a bird or animal when it eats raw meat or drinks the milk of another animal that is infected. Cats can also spread the parasite in their feces. Therefore humans can also become infected with toxoplasmosis when changing a cat litter box or working in an area contaminated with cat feces.
Common ways for people to become infected with toxoplasmosis include:
eating raw or undercooked meats;
drinking unpasteurized milk;
cleaning cat litter boxes;
working in gardens or playing in sandboxes that contain cat feces.
So the litter should be disposed of immediately and not be kept for any length of time.
