Where Are/aren't Your Pets Allowed In Your Home

[Eve]

Inspired by a reply on another thread of mine, do you have any restrictions on where your pets, mainly cats and dogs, are or aren't allowed in your home?

She is a Ragdoll umm, they are very very clingy. She sleeps with us at night, i puther out onto a cusion at the side of the bed if she annoys me, but as soon as I'm asleep she just creeps back in. X

Sally will whine if she can't freely get into the living room when I'm in it. She used to cry when I was in the shower-but she seems to have out grown that.

I have a fabric wardrobe with a set of bookshelves the other side. I am often looking out what to wear when I notice there is a little face watching me from the other side.

Mine fights with the bathmat too, I've got used to the "cat rules the roost" look :) That and stealing socks, tubigrips...

Oh no alwaysconfused!

I've always had rescue cats Sibton, they are my family.

our pooch isn't allowed on the couch, but she's there now, sound asleep.
Also, if you run a bath, better to lock her downstairs as going into the bathroom and discovering you've a dog amongst your bubbles is quite a sight.

When we had dogs, they were never allowed in bedrooms, on beds or on sofas. I would love a pet but catering from home (a flat) stops that happening. Environmental Health say I can have one but I need to put a baby-gate on my kitchen door but I doubt that would stop a cat and any dog I want would leap over it!

[Eve]

Haha, that's one place I'm never likely to find the cat Alba :)

She's curled up at the back of my knees on the sofa at the moment.

Our lovely moggies are not allowed in our bedroom, believe it or not I am allergic to them! They have a free run of the rest of the house so our bedroom is a kitty free zone - not much to ask really though they do try to barge in when I leave the room....

[Iluvspikey]

My dog isn't allowed in the kitchen, or upstairs. I have a nice warm, dry utility room and his basket is in there, he can go to the back outside from there and also the front if the back gate is open. He can also get into the extention, which he spends most of his time. it's big and light and he also has the run of the back garden, but he is taken for two walks a day both around 2 miles.

My terrier doesn't mind where he sleeps during the day as long as it is on me. When we are in bed he will only come up with an invitation. The hound is quite independent.

[abstibus]

My dogs let me go anywhere in the house!!

[murraymints]

I have a Bengal tiger for a pet .....where does he sleep?.......anywhere he wants ! lol...

[emersonkelly]

No restrictions. We will let it to go anywhere in the house.

[China Doll]

Not supposed to go in the bathroom. But he often follows me in (especially in the mornings) as he's pretty quick, he's known as the 'ginger ninja'.

[Tilly2]

We keep the spare bedrooms' doors closed so that they stay tidy for visitors. Otherwise, the dogs go where they like.

[B00]

The dog is allowed in every room and sleeps with me at night. The cat however isn't allowed in the bedroom at night, on account of her being evil and is not to be trusted!

[Canary42]

I don't allow my fish out of their tank.

[SlackAlice]

We have only been owned by two cats, but they were never allowed upstairs or on furniture. They were allowed to jump up onto windowsill in living room. They could otherwise go wherever they wished inside or outside at any time.

[Prudie]

I'm too soft and let my cats go anywhere and my dog when I had one. I know people who only allow their dog in the kitchen and garden. Defeats the object of having a pet IMO.

[tiggerblue10]

Before Little Tiggs came along, Tigger and Blue had complete run of the house. Then I had the house cleaned top to bottom including the carpets, so I didn't let them upstairs anymore. I didn't want them going into Little Tiggs's bedroom. I bought them an activity centre and a new radiator bed so they were quite happy staying downstairs.

[ummmm]

Thinking about it, beside the odd occasion when the cat sneaks into bed with us he never gets on the furniture.
