My husband is having chemo and is ready to come home from the hospital. His oncologist is very concerned about our cats (we have 6). They are ages 14 to 18 and have always eaten on one end of our kitchen counter. We need to make a change to keep him safe. Any ideas? Most can still dead jump up from the floor! They walk around the entire counter when hungry. I never prepare food directly on the counter and wind ex constantly.

Getting cats off of the counter

Can you put a feeding table up for them in another room? One that they will associate with eating and can walk around that table when they're hungry instead of your counter?

how you get cats off the counter is to see what they don't like in your house before you go buying stuff, and if they don't like whatever they don't like you put it on the counter.
I'm not sure I understand the oncologist's concern. Can you explain a bit?
I'm a little confused as well. I realize his immune system may be compromised by the chemo, but what is he going to catch from a cat?
I DO understand but if they have always stayed on one end and you clean it appropriately (and maybe bleach and then a water rinse now for extrasuperspecial safeties sake) I can't see the harm
UNLESS THEY GO OUTDOORS-THEN ITS NOT THE CATS, ITS THE GERMS THEY BRING IN
