Cat enters litter box, cat paws the litter, poops, paws the litter again to cover the poop. Cat leaves the litter box with contaminated paws. Cat licks contaminated paws, transferring contamination to mouth and face around the mouth, then proceeds to lick its whole body in grooming behavior, contaminating everywhere it licks Everything cat touches or that touches cat, including owner, is contaminated.
