last night, chloe hogged the bed and i had to sleep at the head of the bed, sideways while she took up pretty much the rest of the bed lol! shes long enough that while stretched out she can take up a full length bed -- and she does ^.^ whenever id get comfy, she'd put her feet against me so i couldnt even move for fear id smoosh a foot or her tail

what a bed hog. then she pushed the blanket up next to me and i didnt even know she was gone until i heard her tags jangling against her bowl in the kitchen! who knows how long she'd been roaming around the house!?


2 nights ago my mom hollered at me to come look at something. when i got to her room, patchy was asleep, all snuggled up in a ball, with her head on her pillow and one paw resting beside her face. it was adorable

We always have at least two or three cats on us at any given time throughout the night. Lilly usually stays the entire night, but the others will get down and play for awhile and eventually come back.

I have TWO cats that love hogging my pillow...Kiira the new girl, and Brazil both enjoy sleeping near mom's head...Faith was my first 'pillow kitty'...so it is extremely 'special' to me that these two have now taken up the 'habit'...

Kiira likes to stick her paws in my face...which is 'okay' with me, as long as she hasn't just returned from the toilet!!! Hahaha

Chip snuggles right at first, then gets down. Java will come for lovies, too - & sometimes stays, especially during the colder months [she has the thinnest, lightest coat of all of the cats - very oriental-like]. but when it gets warmer, she doesn't usually stay.

Cable almost never even comes around. Pixel will sometimes come for pets, but rarely stays.

you'd think w/5, at least ONE would sleep w/me, wouldn't you?

Reilly and Molly are my bedtime snuggly bears. They usually don't come to bed till around 3 am and then it's a fight between the 2 to see who can get closest to my face. When I wake up Reilly is usually on my chest or laying about 2 inches from my face and Molly has made a nest out of my hair on my pillow

well, like other, mine have learned that if they keep waking me up, they get locked out of the room which they hate.

heyu cat bed is at the foot of the bed. She will often come lay down o my stomach, for a little then she goes and gets in her cat bed. but i do wake up often with her sleeping on my legs, or aganist my back

easy likes to sleep next to my head or arm., when its cold he likes to get under the covers and sleep curled up aganist my chest.. He seems to like sleeping so he can touch you.

Bella works her way up from the foot of the bed (when I go to sleep) to a spot right next to me by the time I wake up. This is her super strategy for not getting squished...wait until clumsy hooman is settled in and then find your spot. She also wants to touch me if at all possible.


Stan is not so subtle. If I am reading a book in bed he will do everything he can to sit on it
, if he wants to snuggle up to me it is usually by my face (insert long hair up nose
). I often wake up with him on my pillow wrapped around my head purring


Wouldn't trade it for the world. Soon it will be too hot and they will start sleeping on the kitchen floor most nights.

All of my babies sleep with me. Mary sleeps on my back or butt. Or else she snuggles between my knees. My boys sleep at the foot of the bed. I love sleeping with them.

During the winter, Zane spends most of the night with me. Due to the vagaries of the heating system, my apartment tends to be cold (house converted to duplex). I refer to him as 'my furry hot water bottle.'

Now that it is warm, not so much, although he'll usually visit me a couple of times/night. He'll just wake me up for a pet, then will settle down and go to sleep.

If I lie down for a nap on a Sunday afternoon, he'll be right there.

The cat who I had all almost all of my life, Bean, (she passed away last year at the age of 23
) used to always sleep with me. She particularly loved napping with me in the afternoons. It was wonderful and I really miss that. Ringo is not quite as cuddly. She sleeps with my husband and I, but she won't join us until after we are both asleep - and then in the morning when she thinks that it is well time we get up she attacks our feet! The Bean wasn't much better. She would get up on my headboard and jump down on my face to wake me up!

Rocky and Oliver did the sweetest thing for me this morning. They do it often if I'm sick or just upset, but today it just meant so much more to me.

It's been a difficult couple of weeks emotionally, and physically I wasn't feeling so great this morning either. I had the worst time getting out of bed. Rocky crawled into my arms and let me hold him like a live teddy bear for a good 15 minutes. He left to eat and use the box, but Oliver stayed with me, curled up around my head purring. When Rocky was done doing what he needed to do, he came back to snuggle with me until I was ready to get up.

They're like my little furry angels right here on Earth -- always there when I need comforting.

They really are furry little angels.
Ringo cheers me up like nothing else when things aren't going well. I'm having a really crap day at work right now and I wish that I could have brought her with me. Happier employees make more productive employees, right?!

Awws! My Ringo actually napped with me today. This is a very rare occurrence. I feel very privileged!

Teddy never sleeps with us. Only last week I was sick in bed for a few days and he stayed with me the whole time!
. He is too squirmy to sleep qith us - to much energy to stay still for longer than half an hr lol. He sleeps in his cat carrier with the door open with his little teddy bear. its so cute the way he cuddles it!

Maggie usually follows me into bed and when I first lay down she immediately "kneads the bread" on my belly!
It's our nightly ritual
. Jazz prefers to sleep under the bed or in the carrier, occassionally she will sleep on the bed!
