How many sleep weird because of the cats?

Last night Penelope was in the middle of the bed by the pillows at the top. My husband was really sick so he slept in the other room so I wouldn't catch it. By morning, I was curled in a ball on the teeniest portion of the right side of the bed. I just feel terrible moving them when they are sleeping!

Would a note from my doctor suffice in answering this question - the aches and pains of staying in a totally uncomfortable position so one doesn't disturb the kitty? I get to sleep sort of in the middle between hubby and Bijou. Two nights ago I went to sleep holding onto the headboard railing to keep the pillow lifted up off Bijou's face since he felt the need to stretch out facing me but preferred not to have his head on the pillow.

I don't let mine into the bedroom at night - if I did I would never get any sleep! Then tend to be 'good' for about ten minutes, then it's 'playtime'. Having 2 cats running over your head is not conducive to getting a good night's sleep!

I do let them in as soon as I wake up in the morning, for some cuddle time.

The last few nights have been warmer around here, and I've noticed the same thing- that Evie doesn't insist on sleeping on me as much.

Usually, her favorite spot to sleep is on my face, but when that doesn't work, she makes do with my chest. The problem is, I hate sleeping on my back- it has to be side or stomach. But, somehow, my itty-bitty kitten has figured out how to roll me over while I'm asleep so she can sleep on my chest! So it's not unusual for me to wake up, sore and stiff and on my back, with a happy purring kitten in my face!

I not only have a cat in my bed at night but I also have two dogs in it and one of them is a boxer so I don't have alot of room in my bed at night. and last night I fell asleep with my covers folded back and Macy layed on them and I couldn't get her to budge so I was cold for most of the night.

With the boys, and DH I haven't had a good night sleep in over a year.

My cats definitely own the bed.

If you were an outsider, looking at my sleeping arrangement at night, and how I bend and contort myself to accommodate the cats' comfort level, you'd think I was auditioning for Cirque de Soleil.

So late last night Molly came to cuddle with me. First her butt almost landed on my face. Then DH turned her around and she layed on my pillow with her paw extended but not touching. She is so funny!

Yes I sleep weird b/c of my cats. They usually lay at the foot of the bed and I have to sleep on an angle.

He he he hee!
When I first got Kitty I only had a single bed and he used to hog the middle so I`d be all scrunched up on the pillows.
Now I have a double and he has his side and I have my side, as you can see in this pic

Wouldn't it be mean to move them while they are cozy?

I've had to go to the chiropracto because the cats slept in wierd places which made me sleep wierd and thew my back out of alignment. Oh well... the little kitty contortionists win

Harvey sleeps by DH's feet. Tailer stretches out between the two of us...back paws touching DH and front paws touching me. Forest (who always prefers to be lying against something so he feels more stable) sleeps between my legs and uses my fanny as a pillow. None of this is a problem, unless you actually want to move in your sleep. Then you're either pinned down or meowed at.

Now that's a funny mental picture!

I not only have 4 cats in bed with me, but also 4 dogs...one of which is a very large golden...I even have a king size bed for just me, and I still have no room left with all of them..but I wouldn't have it any other way..

well I cleaned off my bed today i had clothes on it and well I cleaned it off for the most part now only my school stuffs on it but now I have much more space, and bella is laying on my pillows go figure and blue likes her little square tunnel thingy tonite for some reason a nd well stormie of course is under the bed, but who knows who will join me in my sleep I went to bed last night with Bella under my chin in my arms again and let me tell u I was so uncomfy and well blue was on my feet, and I woke up with just Stormie all sprawled out (everyone else was bird watching ) I loved going to my brothers tho for a night, I was so iffy on it and being away from the kitties, next thing I know his kitten Piper is cuddeling with me so luckily i was able to sleep and piper is such a little cutie so I always have to have a cuddle buddie or I cant sleep the things u get used to
