I always swore I wouldnt let one of my fosters sleep with me. But Skye has started sneaking in every night and I havnt been kicking her out. I really wish I could keep her.

Both of mine do sleep with me at some point during the night. Sassy usually goes to bed when I do and lays beside me for awhile to be petted. Linus doesn't come to bed until much later because he likes to chase his toys around the house when it is dark. Sassy generally moves on to the armchair about midnight, when Linus shows up and then by morning they are both on the bottom of the bed. When it is very hot though they both sleep stretched out on the tile floor in the bathroom or in the tub where it is cooler.

Uno, Bob and Pennie sleep with us and Button and Egore sleep with my daughter.

Gizmo will sometimes sleep with my daughter or after I get up she will sleep on my side of the bed.

I am not sure where Moochie sleeps at night but he is always up and at the door wanting out when I wake up.

Frostie is still new so she finds a hiding place to sleep at night. I have tried to bring her upstairs in bed but she is still skiddish of the other cats and the dogs so she just ran back downstairs.

The canine fur kids do not sleep in bed but Queenie and Hanna sleep in the bedroom. Cassie is old and has arthritis so she will only come upstairs if I am up there alone watching a movie or crocheting because she knows she can sleep on the bed. Otherwise she sleeps downstairs on her doggie bed.

Oh yes.....most all of them except Pebbles sleep with me. When Pebbles decides she want's to come up on the bed...the other 5 scatter. She may be one of the youngest, but she rules the roost and nobody's gonna mess with her or risk sleeping too close to her.

Actually my newest addition, little Miss Mia has taken up permanent residence on the top of my pillows. I actually sleep slightly sitting up (don't ask) and put 3 pillows against each other in bed. I sleep on the front of the 3rd pillow and she stretches out across the top of all three. I usually wake up to a tail flipping in my face or an awful smell
(Mia's got a bit of a "gas" problem).

Hope he didn't kill something and bring it to me... maybe I should check...
If I want to get any sleep, I have to sleep on my back so that Alley can sleep on my chest. If I try to sleep in any other position, Alley will keep nudging at me until I get in the proper position for her.

When Oz sleeps with us -- which is most nights, even when it's disgustingly hot out -- he tends to pin J down and start licking J's shaved head. He'll also lick armpits, chins, foreheads, shoulders ... really, any exposed skin is fair game to Ozzie! (Once, while I was getting out of the shower, Oz licked my butt!
Let me tell you, that was disconcerting!)

Spike doesn't so much sleep with us as he sleeps near us. He'll flop down on top of J's dresser (which has a comforter on top of it, for kitty-flopping purposes), spread out on the floor beside my side of the bed (a bad idea, because I've been known to accidentally step on him when I get out of bed), or sprawl across the top of my computer desk (which also has a blanket on it for the cats). Spike will only actually sleep on the bed with us in the winter, when I have my electric blanket turned on; otherwise, he prefers his own space -- provided his space is extremely close to ours.

Yes, the bed and furniture are fair game to dogs and the cat alike

I wish I could but I cant.

My kittens crawl over my husband and I, tackling each other until they get worn out. Tiger, the boy, sometimes sleep between us or on my husband's head. He's a daddy's boy.

But Angel, the girl, will sleep on their bed on the floor which is made of a kitty bed and a lamb fleece blanket. Partly because we're both afraid to squish her because she's so tiny but she'll lay next to me for a bit. She's a mommy's girl.

Mini is the only one that sleeps in bed with us-she has been doing this ever since she was big enough to climb the bed. Sometimes she has restless nights when she keeps waking us up, she will walk across the pillow & pull my hair, but usually she is a sweet little girl. She likes to curl up against my chest, I think she likes my heartbeat or something, & her soft little fore head is tucked up under my chin. If I roll over to the other side, alot of times she will move over with me & lay the same way.

My babies like to sleep with me. Sometimes they will take a few weeks and sleep somewhere else, but Loki has been sleeping with me for the past week. He usually likes to sleep down near my legs. Possum has been sleeping elsewhere for the last week, but this morning he was sleeping with me, too. He usually likes to be up near my head or somewhere near the middle. For some reason Loki and Possum don't seem to like sharing the bed when I'm in it. I don't get it at all. It's a full size bed, and with only one person sleeping in it there's enough room for 2 cats! They also like to sleep together and cuddle, so that's not it, either!

Both are pretty good about letting me sleep the whole night through. Sometimes I wake up to kitty feet-pouncing, and once Possum was licking my face, but usually they just come up to sleep, too.
