No need to throw anything out. I don't even wash the carriers. These myths infuriate me! Beth Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

My question is this, we have 28 cats (yep, that's a LOT of cats) and we will keep him in the study during this time. However, I have had several people say "oh you need to throw everything away and bleach everything down when he is gone or you will transmit it to your cats" and it is my understanding that the virus is fragile when outside it's living host and therefore, I would thinlk that a good cleaning and some time (i.e. a week or two) would be sufficient before letting our cats back into the study. Thoughts? We have wood floors but there is a rug, chair and cat condos in there (which can be removed, of course).
