Hi all

Ijust wanted to know - how many of you have cats that sleep with you? My bugs sleep with me resulting in an extremely restless night, for me, my husband and the two of them I am sure. The one like to sleep on my head and the other at the crook of my knees.

I am hoping that as they grow older and the weather gets warmer - we will all become a bit more restful, but in the meantime, I put up with it because I love snuggling them.

Our cat sleeps in bed with us, normally on my feet. When he was little, he liked to sleep on my head, which wasn't the least bit restful!

I had a cat who used to sleep in the bed with me - but with his head on the pillow and his body under the duvet! It was so cute. When it was hot I used to have to sleep with my arm stretched out and then he would like on top of the sleep and rest his head on my pillow - i used to wake up with a totally dead arm!

normally they don't. We try to shut the door and keep them out because we wake up with very soar throats when they sleep in there (we are allergic alittle!) sometimes we let them sleep with us though

So far neither one sleeps with me. At first I couldn't even go to bed without shutting the door because the baby would rampage all over the bed (and me).

Chewy, the baby, will come see me as soon as I start to stir around. I really think I would like them to sleep with me, guess it depends on where they decide they like best. They have plenty of room tho. I have a king size bed with just me in it.

We can't let ours sleep with us because my husband is allergic. They have their own little cat beds now. I miss them sleeping under the covers with me! One under each arm, and one snuggled between my feet.

I usually have both of them sleep with me. Trent likes to sleep by my feet, and Ophelia wherever a lap would be (sometimes in the crook of my knee, on the back of my legs, etc.). It's gotten to where I wake up when I shift positions at night so I can do it without disturbing them. LOL Nah, they aren't spoiled!

We have typically between 8-10 cats on the bed every night. We also have 3 cat condos in the bedroom and a couch and 2 chairs, so go figure they have to all sleep on the bed, and usually on us!

Both Corkscrew and Tibby sleep at the foot of the bed with me. Tibby tries to sleep on my pillow with me, but I usually don't let her because I end up being extremely congested when I wake up in the morning if I let her that close to my head.

Well now that my son sleeps with us, JB usually sleeps around the bottom of the bed or near the pillows (we have a lot of pillows), I usually have a soft comforter for him to sleep on, but when he wants to not be disturbed by my constant moving around, he'll sleep in the other room on his favorite chair. He has certain spots in the house that he sleeps in that are strictly his and if you happen to sit on it, he'll sniff and scratch *with his paws only* that area as if to cover up the smell of our rearends
Anyway...when he was a kitty, he used to sleep with us and that was horrendous, I was awake most of the night, like now, with my son
JB would lay on my neck or in my hair and constantly wanted to play! Then he would be spoiled because I used to pick him up and carry him to his food. But after a month of this, one early morning, he nipped my toes and I told him to buzz off and find the food himself which he did and that stopped the spoiled behaviour in that department.
Of course, now he just stands at the bedroom door meowing since it echos in the hallways!!!! And of course that wakes up my son! Arrgh!!! Oh I do wish to have more kitties running around, but I know JB wouldn't like that
Oh well, one is enough I reckon
for now.

So far out in left field I got lost
Oscar will sleep on my right shoulder with his body tucked down beside mine. He uses me for the pillow I guess
After he gives me a few kitty kisses he will purr me to sleep.

Sammycat only gets on the bed when we are not in there or to wake me up in the morning so I can drag myself out of bed to feed his royal highness. One Day I Will Sleep LATE!

When Spike was a very little baby, he used to sleep up on top of my head. Once he outgrew that, he started sleeping next to me on my bed. The nice thing about that is he doesn't disturb my sleep at all since he's not *on* me.
Of course, occasionally he sleeps *on* my feet.

Otis sleeps with me at the bottom of the bed but stretches himself out so that he is in a diagonal. Not very comfy for me, then early in the mornings he comes under the duvet and lies over my chest. Soooo cute! My sister say's that I'll never get married with a cat at the bottom of my bed

You'll just have to find a man with a cat at the bottom of his own bed, so you can have two!

One of my babies, Ethel, sleeps with me. She actually gets under the covers with me no matter what time of year it is.

My new girl of one week, Samantha, hasn't really found her place yet. She has been sleeping at the foot of the bed since the first day I brought her home but some time in the night she goes somewhere else to sleep. She does come back in in the morning for some cuddles and pets though which make me more than a little happy

First Jake and Tatum, the boys come in and pick their spot to sleep. Then the sisters, Brie and Rudy come in and hog my side of the be. So now I an in the middle of the bed and Hubby is a bit crowded. Now Drysi comes in and picks her spot for the night. This leaves just enough room for the 13 week old kittens to jump up and attack our toes. I'm not sure if we sleep, I know that I take naps in the afternoon without any kitties... Go figure!
