waht to do about my children/cats (same difference)???

I have 3 boys and they are all spoiled rotten. Like there's any other kind of cat At least 1-2 of them consider me as thier bed. Just try breathing with 30lbs of cat on you. Fortunatly, my best behaved one is also the lightest at about 8 lbs. The other 2 are 17 and 13 lbs respectivly. At this moment, Purranha is trying to dig underneath my keyboard for his popsicle stick that he chews on. (yes my cat gnaws on wood) i have surgery on the 29th and probably need to start reminding them that, by the time they are able to sit on me again, there is'nt going to be as much land to go around.

Smokey and Sister treat me the same way. My DH tells them all the time that we own them, they don't own us. Yeah right! Shanon

I was worried about the same thing, unfortunatly my cat didn't make it until I had surgery. He would sleep only on my stomach, and no where else. I could roll over and he would just follow me and move until I rolled over again. I was going to fashion something out of wood, like a tray to go over my stomach area. It was going to have enough space for me to turn if needed, but would also keep him off. Good luck.

I was concerned about the issue as well, but didn't have a problem except when I was sleeping. I blocked the cats from jumping on the tummy. Had no problem with Harley laying on my side post-op. It only lasted a couple of weeks. Though he has a knack of placing a paw right on my port and bearing all his weight there. ouch!
