I know this is a crazy question but it is a concern. I have two cats. My one cat is long, fat, 17 lbs and has a lot of muscle to him. He thinks he owns my body. He jumps on me all the time, even in the middle of the night. I have a queen size bed for him to jump onto but he jumps on me every single time. The other day he jumped on my chest from my head board and and almost knocked the breath out of me.

I am concerned this may be a problem with the drain and even my pain. I don't know what to do because I can't close him off. If I shut my bedroom door, he can get to the litter box. Any time I try to shut any door in my apartment, even the bathroom door, he continually scratches on it until I open it and it is wood so I can't let him do that either.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a 65 pound lap dog lol. I understand your concern. I'm 3 weeks out and I've just tried to set barriers so she doesn't jump on me. She's a big baby so she likes to cuddle in my lap. When I came home from surgery she would sit in front of me and cry because I wouldn't let her in my lap.

This is my 50 lb lap dog who stole my pillow.

I can totally relate to this! It's like they see something that you are using and they just take it the moment they can! I went to the bathroom. Was gone MAYBE a minute and holly stole my heating pad!

i have a 42 pound dog and while she isnt a lap dog perse she does love to cuddle in bed but sometimes she gets really excited and kicks around so i cant let her in the bed with me when recovering but shes my baby i love this dog she has helped me recover from two ear surgies this year

He'll stay on his own side of the couch but I will need help walking him. ????

Beautiful dog!

I can't tell you how much better my knee feels now that she's been laying on it for a while.

Therapy dog in so many ways. She's seen me through three surgeries and I've seen her through two of her own.

I've been close to all of our dogs......but this one is really special. I hope she lives a long and healthy life.

I just leave the pillow across my abdomen and all is well.

My first day home she jumped up in the recliner and stood there looking at me. I pulled my shirt up and showed her the new holes....she leaned in....leaned back.....looked up at me and raised her front left paw and dropped her head down.

She's stayed off my abdomen ever since. I keep the pillow there to safeguard against the younger dog....she's wide open and full of adventure and wouldn't know any better.

Plus.......that pillow feels great as it's warm and provides slight pressure.

I have a schnauzer too!!!

He is my EVERYTHING!

earlier when I was in my gym and doing wide grip pull downs, he HAD to be on the bench with me and even had to be so close that he was touching me.

I can't live without him and he can't live without me.

I adore my Tucker!
