Or maybe train your cat to 'go' in the garden. They cover it up themselves . . . and so wont leave any gross 'reminders' :p Then you wont have to bother with litter and cat-poo.
 
Though I would suggest not worrying too much abt it, as long as u don't directly come into contact i.e. wearing gloves etc.

I don't allow my cat outside because the few times I did she just raced right to the middle of the street.  My last cat was run over and killed that way so I can't bear to have that happen again.  The most I allow is a few minutes for her if I am sitting outside to get some sun.  If my cat even tries to head for the street then I grab her and take her inside.  Call it protective, but the memories are still fresh of the last cat and watching her die :( 
 
I had thought of gloves and wondered what others thought of that.  Thanks for bringing it up :)

Salams wife, I get protective of my cat too, he's often outside and knows his area, he's pretty good but when I'm outside in the front and he's somewhere around and a car comes by i wonder where he is trying to keep an eye out.
Mum once had a cat when she left for the day followed after her and there was a road to cross and accidently got hit.
 
I ususally don't like leaving and letting the cat out when I go, I perfer putting him out the back and so can't see me but I know he can see from under the house. Lately oscar's been leaving out the front with me when i leave and i keep saying to him, stay out of trouble & stay home :), he does watch me walk down the street thou. It was funny one day when i left he watched me and when i was out of sight oscar went into next door and sat in the grass and continued to watch me.
 
I understand your aprehensions.
 
 
I don't think there is anything wrong with wearing gloves, I would probably wash my hands thoroughly afterwards anyway.
