Should Dogs and Cats Sleep on Your Bed?

Sorry I agree with Jen. I love my cat as much as anyone but she is so not allowed to sleep on the bed. Cats don’t shower every day, they lose their fur, and they don’t wipe their bottoms. Sorry, not on my bed thank you.

Yes why? is there a meaning I dont know about?

I don’t, not that it helps much! :?

ahem … cats DO clean their bottoms ….. they are constantly washing themsleves!!!
… probably cleaner than many humans, who also go for a wee and don’t wash their hands!!!

Hmmm, some ppl have a strange idea of what constitutes unhygenic.

I’ve never knowingly caught anything off any of my pets who have slept on the bed.

Human’s however, carry germs and viruses that they pass onto other people. Some air con units and water filters are breeding grounds for germs.

Travelling on a bus or a train? Put your hand on a handrail on the escalator? Handling money? Dirty and full of germs.

How many times have you bought food from a cafe, or a deli or a salad bar? Remember, the next time you do, humans shed hair and skin as well and they don’t always wash their hands.

Who knows, they might have scratched their bum or picked their nose or a spot before serving you.

Test carried out on a bowl of peanuts, put on the bar for customer consumption, found they had traces of urine on them from hand dipping…

Crossing the road could kill you. Eating food contaminated with ecoli could kill you.

In fact, lots of things could kill you.

Did you know a child is more likely to be harmed or killed by their own parents or a family member than by a stranger or animal?

Of if you’re American, as this article is, you’re probably more likely to be killed by your own school pals.
