There's no place like home
Spanky lays somewhere on my legs until the first time I toss and turn. I sleep on my side, and Scarlett will spoon with me, usually with her head on my shoulder. Stumpy has to touch me, but doesn't like the fact that I do toss and turn. Koko will sleep on my feet for a while. Pinky and Eightball will give me a brief visit by standing on my side until I pet them for a while. And when Muddy decides to sleep in bed with us at night (very rare), he's on my chest, and he doesn't let me toss and turn.

The rest sleep at the foot of the bed. We have a very crowded bed.

I sleep on my back with my left arm curled around Lilly. Zachary sleeps either on my chest (not very comfortable) or between my legs.

Forrest won't sleep on the bed with us. He insists on being shut into his "man cave" (the guest bathroom) every night. It's strange but he seems to love being by himself. He's got a little covered box under the vanity and food and water. My husband lets him out in the morning when he gets up.

Yeah, well (I mentioned this in my other post) she also climbs in my underwear basket and takes inventory of my panties, and tries to climb up my skirt any chance she gets! When she was a small kitten she would climb in between my legs (I sit indian style) and nap while I sat on the floor and used my 'puter. I think its conditioned her to think the place, or god forbid the smell, is a security blanket of some sort.... She is truly obsessed.

Milo makes sure he kneads both of my arms for atleat 10 minutes before settling between my side and right arm. If I dare interupt his "happy dance," he has to start all over. lol... I think he must have some for of OCD, but it's my favorite part of going to sleep.

Teddy sleeps at the foot of my bed at night.... but as soon as I wake up, he has to lay on my chest for a few minutes before I'm allowed to start my day.

Arwen will stretch across me when I'm laying on my back, so that she is facing me. Most of the time she is up close in the sphinx position and staring into my eyes


It's ok until she yawns though, Jeez the breath is lethal!

Swanie like to sleep on my feet or my leg, or leaning up against my leg. The other night I woke up and I was on my side with my legs bent. He was behind me laying half on my hip. It was pretty funny. Sometimes he'll stretch out beside me. Cindy hasn't done this in a while, but I would occasionally wake up with her sleeping on my side.

Trapped in the catroom! ;o)
This is a great thread! Fatman MUST be in the middle of BF and I no matter what he has to be there and heaven forbid I get to hot and want him to move because if I even breathe wrong he is howling at me to go back to bed! GiGi likes to lay with BF she adores him so thats who she sleeps with and Hercules when he deems us good enough to sleep with is usuall right next to my face staring at me or at my feet curled into a ball! Awww I love sleeping with my kitties! Puppy isnt allowed in bed anymore!The kitties voted him off the island! LOL

Holland rolls with the punches... If I'm sleeping on my stomach she lies on my back. If I'm on a side she'll balance herself on whichever hip is facing up. I usually sleep on my back, though, and her favorite place is right between my legs with the mid-part of her body at about knee level. She faces my toes and when she wakes up before me she attacks my feet mercilessly if I move...

Alley pretty much stopped sleeping with me a few months ago. When she was smaller she liked to curl up next to my head or on the pillow.She would also sleep against either my back or my stomach.

Her usual night time sleeping spot is in my comfy computer chair (in my bedroom)and sometimes w a y under the bed.

Can`t have everything,I guess.

It really depends with Sox, if I have been reading before bedtime she is either at my feet or she is laying right beside me. If I have been petting her she is either on my chest, that is until I turn over and then she is on my hip.

Nibbler doesn't sleep... She licks me till I can't take it anymore and push her off the bed. She used to sleep on the other side of the bed like she was protecting me, not anymore. Now it's lick lick lick every 30 minutes... not very restfull... And it's usually my face she licks, which is bad cuz I'm slightly allergic and happen to only have a reaction to her saliva.
When she does sleep however, it's on my neck or my chest. Which is wonderful... sometimes.

My cat (who died a year ago) would sleep on my face. I'd wake up with fur in my mouth, and somewhat stuffy lol she just used my face as a pillow
Gosh, I miss her so much.

I'd rather not say.
Sophie sleeps against my chest, nestled under my armpit (I sleep on the side with one arm stretched out). Squirrell will usually sleep by my feet, or if he's allowed to by Sophie, snuggle up next to her so he can be with me. When Sophie's not sleeping with me, he takes her place and rolls around cuddling me. Sophie has to be under the blanket, no matter what. Squirrel has to be on top of the blanket, or next to it.


Sometimes he'll sleep under the bed. I think he's trying to play guard cat when he does, because he keeps a constant watch on me whenever he's under there.

Cammy isn't real snuggly, but when she joins me in the morning I'm usually on my back and she sleeps nestled between my arm and chest.

Chynna likes to sleep on my hand.

Abby doesn't really sleep on me. She pastes herself up against my left side. If you can picture this.....she lays on her side with her back against my side, her butt up towards my arm pit. My arm is against her from her butt to her neck. She rests one hind leg and her front leg over my arm so my arm is like a body pillow!
Then while I'm trying to read or fall sleep, I'm expected to gently scratch Her Magesty's chest and neck.

Hubby gets half the bed to himself, while I share my side with three cats. One on my pillow, wrapped around my head. Two on my feet/legs. Sometimes I get lucky and one or two of them choose to sleep on top of the head-board instead.

While we are on the couch, Trout prefers the crotch area.

In bed though, she sleeps beside us usually so not to get crushed as she has a few times


She used to do the whole "pinning me to the bed sleeping on top of the blanket but between my legs" thing.

My Mowgli likes to sleep between my legs and top of the sheets in the summer. During the winter he likes to sleep under the covers without the comforter touching him! Kind of like his own little warm bubble.?
