Is it safe healthy to have your pet (cat) around you while healing after surgery (Tummy tuck) my fur babies lay on my bed.

Asked By:calimom4

I have two black cats. They are my 10 year old fur babies. Unlike my other four kids these guys still sleep with me.. Should I be concerned after my tummy tuck in 9 days? I've heard animals, especially cats can be dangerous for healing? Is this true, or myth? They are clean. I will not clean their litter boxes after surgery. I also change the sheets regularly. I only let them on the comforter, I do not let them on the sheets.
