Do your cats abuse you when you sleep?

[Jaffacake]

I`m curious.

Maisie is turning into a hooligan! Since she has been sleeping on my bed I have been awoken to her climbing all over the bedside cabinet.

She has sniffed my eyes.

Scratched at my cheek

Stood on my head.

Layed on my head.

Then last night I was dreaming that I was trying to talk but no sound was coming out. Well, no wonder! I woke up to find Maisie laying across my neck!

If I don`t post tomorrow it`s because she`s gone one further and layed across my face!

Do you get abused by your kitties at night?

[CruiserMaiden]

Mine like to knock things over to wake me up sometimes. They also like to walk all over me which is quite painful as they are both around 15lbs! And Mulder likes to curl up right in my face so I can’t breathe, but I usually just face the other way. At various times they have both decided to lick/chew on my hair/hands/arms/feet. Of course if I ban them from the bedroom they sit in the hallway and meow all night… So – yes!

Sorry Linny but that's hilarious. I think she's just so happy to be sleeping with you And for the Record, Yes, Pepino Lays all over my head and face and steps all over my face too

The bed is Cindy's domain, so she's the only one we have to contend with, and mostly she just finds ways of pinning the human in one position -- except for weekend mornings when the human is lying in too long and thus delaying breakfast -- but even then, she just sticks her face in mine.

[Going Nova]

Nova likes to curl up against my head and groom me.

The other day, she walked over my head. She was careful to step over me, but her belly dragged on my face!

Sometimes, she brings her toys onto the bed and plays with them there. Other times, she's more persistent and swats me in the face untill I'm up. She also reaches under the covers and grabs at whatever part of me she can reach. (She curls up her little paw against me and tugs.)

She cries and scratches at the door if I close her out.

In the mornings, my SO gets up before me. Eventually, Nova thinks I ought to get up too and she hops onto the bed for my morning torture. I call out to my SO, "Mike! Mike, help!" Then, Michael will come and take her out of the room. Well, she's gotten wise, and now when I call for help, she runs to the foot of the bed and pretends to just be laying down!

[Jaffacake]

It`s a conspiracy!

It is funny what they get up to. They all seem to know the best ways to wake us up Funny thing is they don`t like it when we do it to them

Helen, she is so sweet Even though she was suffocating me last night I didn`t want to move her. It was an uncomfy night

[Snake_Lady]

Yup, all the above LOL.

Kizzy likes to lay high on my chest, under my chin if I'm laying on my back....which would be great if his fluff didn't cover my mouth and nose.

Laying on the couch, he tries to suffocate me.... I think its his way of saying: "no nap for you".

Favorite position tho: when he's not trying to kill me, he curls up between my legs

[AmberThe Bobcat]

Natasha, our 8 month old bobcat girl is a little terror at night. Almost like clockwork, she wakes me at 2:30 am, bites my neck and ears. Walks on my head, bites my toes and hands However, their is no getting upset with her. She does all that with a loud purr to say, I love you

[Nekochan]

The kittens do! If they are chasing each other they will run across me (luckily doesn't happen too often.) They will also sit on my pillow above my head and chew on my hair! I've taken to sleeping with a pillow over my head to protect my hair but then they lay on the pillow on top of my head...
When I wake up they come and lay on me. Unfortunately they often end up ALL coming to snuggle with me when I wake up so I end up with 5 large kittens on my chest and stomach. When I say large I mean it, the biggest is over 10 pounds already. It was worse when there were 6 of them especially since the one who was adopted recently, Rosalie, was the second largest in the litter so she was about 8 pounds.
Church usually just comes and lays on my chest purring, and then licks my hands/arms.

Jake wakes me up with loud purring, and at first i'm thinking awww how sweet until I notice he has one of my socks in his mouth and has that lustful look in his eyes...I dunno why but he always does all of his sexual activity at night when I am sleeping and wakes me up...He hasn't stopped humping socks after being neutered. Maybe he will eventually...

Jake humps socks??? Well...that's the first I've heard of anything like that!

[LawGuy]

Yes. Ally unfortunately has messed with my sleep for the last month. I really don't know what to do about it. I can deal with her playing in the room. I just put ear-plugs in my ears and go to sleep.

She does however sometimes wake me up to play. She'll usually scratch at my boxers trying to pull them down, or scratch my leg gently almost as to say, "Wake up!.. Wake up!"

Nibbling on my toes is always interesting too. It freaked me out the first time, as I am stilling getting used to having a cat and didn't immediately realize that it was Ally.

Lastly, she will nudge my face with her paw and I wake up to see her staring at me.
