Precisely the point. Once it's mulled into paint, you really have to be oblivious and incredibly careless for even the most toxic pigments to affect you. In the dry state, that's another problem entirely. Back to Naples yellow, yes, other pigments in combination can approximate the color, but there's more to lead antimonate and its variants as pigments than just color.

RE/ the cat, ha ha ha ha! Sharon, you deserve a purple heart for that one! We once had a cat who was completely resistant to bathing. She was small. She was sweet tempered. She had the power and the attitude of a Bengal tiger in the bathtub. I gave up!
