My kitty loves to sleep under the covers. Every time I come home I find a lump in my bed snuggled up deep under the covers. She sleeps the whole night with us cuddled up either completely under the covers (sometimes by our feet) and sometimes with her little head poking out.

I know most cats HATE to be covered up. Just wondering if anyone else has cats with the same habit!

Yeah my cat Buddy sometimes sleeps under the covers....I'll come home sometimes and see a lump on my bed. I guess he is somewhat of a burrowing animal....

Sho will drag them down at the foot of the bed and sleep under them on the floor. When you walk by you'll get a surprise - we call him Blanket Monster when he's in that mode. He'll swat - won't be careful with his claws and will bite hard. Play with him outside the blankets and he's automatically gentle.


Tomas will sometimes sleep with him in the blanket cocoon, but usually prefers to nest on the bed when it isn't made. When he snuggles up on me or against me, I'll pull the blankets up over us both. I will not cover my head with him under the blanket... this somehow increases the chance of him farting, I'm certain he knows what he's doing.

Oliver likes to be a bump sometimes too... he was one last night for awhile before I went to bed - he always pokes his little pink nose out so he can breathe haha... I was sitting watching tv before climbing in bed last night and my bed sneezed! haha
He doesn't usually sleep under there for like the nighttime though - he sleeps on top of the blankets up against me

All 3 of mine sleep under the covers, they've just started doing it again with the end of Summer. They tickle me with their whiskers as they settle in :lol3;

Punkin has no use for sleeping on the bed, even. But if I take a nap or sleep late, after Dottie goes to work on my day off, Sterling will burrow under the covers occasionally. He's really bad about running his cold nose and tickly whiskers on my bare leg, though!

Sonic and Jacob like to sleep under the covers sometimes, I don't mind at all but I do wish they'd watch what they are doing with their paws while they are pulling the covers around and making themselves comfortable! Especially when they decide they have to be right next to my face and turn round and round under the covers treading on my nose

Tabitha likes to snuggle up right next to me with my arm around her. If any of the others try to get under there with her watch out! The kitten will burrow under the blanket on the couch sometimes. I always thought it was odd behavior but my husband is a polar bear so us girls have to stick together to stay warm.

Pan sleeps between us every night, under the covers....but he will not go under the covers if he is alone. He needs snuggle buddies, lol.

Mini will sleep with us under the covers & when it's chilly she also likes when daddy covers her with a sweatshirt. She'll stay curled up under there for a long time, sometimes she pokes her nose out-it's so cute!

Nope - neither Ling nor Charlie are under the cover cats. All of my rexes were notorious under the cover, blanket, etc cats - even in the summer time

LOL, Jacob is an under the covers cat by himself, if he feels the central heating isn't on a high enough setting he will nest under the duvet with just his nostrils sticking out

The only "Undercover Kitty" here is Lil' Jag. She has been doing this ever since we adopted her at 3.5 months. It doesn't matter if she snuggles with someone or by herself. The others really don't like to be covered up although they will sleep on the bed. *shrugs*

Bella likes to burrow under the covers with us, sometimes she completely goes under the covers. I have to admit I like the feel of her very soft fur next to me
