Having a pet in the bed is not a good idea

Carrying on a theme developed in the "Bring back fox hunting" thread, the pet owners amongst you might find this article alarming.

Quote:

In one case a 69-year-old man, whose dog slept under the covers with him and licked his hip replacement wound, came down with meningitis....

:erm:

Quote:

...Another incident involved a 9-year-old boy who got plague, ..., from sleeping with his flea-infested cat.

:Yikes:

Not only that, but...

It's not only animals giving infections to people, it looks like people can infect animals, too...

I wonder if my goldfish will be alright... :D

Re: Having a pet in the bed is not a good idea

I never let my dog in the bed, always have to shout at the mrs for letting him in the bed room.

I have pet snakes and lizards too, wouldnt really wanna share a bed with these big guys or may end up as breakfast

i don't allow the dog upstairs to all or even on the sofa - it's disgusting.... i can't understand these people who let animals sleep on / in their bed...

A dog licks a wound and he gets meningitis? Hardly a conclusive correlation. Much the same with the plague and a cat's fleas.

My cats constantly sleep on top of the covers at the bottom of the bed. I don't think there is anything wrong with it and it's hard to stop them when I am asleep lol.

Any animal in my kitchen or where I sleep in my opinion is not hygienic.

So were do you put the dog/cat pet food?

My sister has put her kids rabbit in their kitchen, in very cold weather and it uses a litter tray.

If I had a dog or a cat I would put the pets food outside of the main house.

Why??

I have house cats and they are probably cleaner than most humans.

What about a cats litter tray where would you put that?
