Besides your husband/wife does your cat like to sleep with you ?  Bella crawled under my covers last night and stayed there till this morning . I almost rolled on her. Tell us about your cats night in your bed.

Oh yeah!  Ozzy is my sleep buddy.  Sometimes he'll curl up next to me, but sometimes he, too, likes to crawl under the covers and snuggle up.  Once he's asleep he doesn't move all night.  He's a big cat so if I need to move or get up during the night I try to maneuver around him so I don't disturb his slumber.  LOL

I miss him when he doesn't come in at night!

Lately they are both sleeping in bed with me. I hear the quiet sounds of Bailey licking Grover's face before we go to sleep. I picture him saying to Grover "Come here my little lamb chop, I must kiss you!" 
.Grover makes some squeaky noises too. It's so cute!

Topaz will start the night with me, but once I stop petting her/fall asleep, she leaves. Aristotle would cuddle in bed more, but Topaz has been known to intrude and Aristotle does not like that.

Angel sleeps with us almost every night. (sometimes Tippy - but the girls don't get along). Angel snuggles in between the two of us -- and she snores! Tippy and Tony take over the bed during the daytime hours. Angel is really funny - as soon as she sees us going into the bedroom she runs in there and won't settle down until we are both there.

Where my cats are
My girls aren't allowed in our bedroom because of DH's allergies.  But if I'm on the couch Mooch is on top of me somehow.  The closer to my head the better.  When she was light enough it was up on my chest leaning right on my face sometimes! 
  Now it's mostly my lap. If I'm laying on my side she will lay on my hip.  Noodles usually stays by my feet.  But if Mooch isn't there yet she might come spend a few minutes in my lap and let me pet her.

During the winter months Sweetie spends the night on my bed, but during the summer he does this only occasionally and then only part of the night.   I think the summer nights are just too warm for him.

Midnight prefers to sleep in my bed, sometimes even on the pillow next to my face. If it's too hot she might just cuddle in a corner of the bed. When she feels like sleeping that is

Both my kitties like to sleep with me.

Monet gets into bed as I am, and he'd lay at the foot of the bed or over my leg while I read/watch TV. When I turn the lights off, he'd move and curl up against my chest and stay there all night (if I roll over, he'd crawl over me to get to my chest again, he doesn't like to lay at my back!)

Cassie comes in sometimes during the night.. she'd curl up at the back of my knees, or sometimes goes under the covers and finds her way between my legs.

All of my cats have been "bed buddies."  Abby loves to sleep with me. Spence will start out sleeping with me and come and go through the night.  Katie is usually only in my bed when she wants to cuddle, but she is an active cuddler and is constantly in motion, so she just doesn't lay there and get pets.

Angel was sleeping with me, but sometimes it's off & on for extended periods of time. He had been sleeping on the other pillow beside me for around a couple of months I think. (He's never gotten under the covers, but if it's cold, I will put his blanky on him. ....Nope not spoiled AT ALL!!  LOL! 

Lately, he has been sleeping in his bed in the other room.  Normally he is not allowed on the massage table in the other room, but I finally just put an old blanket over it, & put his bed up there so he can look out the window. (I brush him almost every day, so there's not a lot of shedding, even though he's fluffy).


On the occasion that I have a client, I just move his bed back into my room, & remove the "cover blanket" from the table.  No one allergic has ever had a problem. When he sleeps in there, sometimes he will come in, in the morning & lay beside me. If he doesn't, I will sometimes go lay with him up on the table w/ my head by his in his bed. "We have to have our morning cuddles." ...Well, at least I do.

Chynna is my bed buddy. Sometimes she will get under the cover but most of the time she is on me or my husband. Liberty Mouse is a cold weather kitty when it comes to being on the bed.

Lazlo sleeps between Gary's legs.

Sheldon or Billy or Chumley sleep curled up into my neck - whoever gets there first. :lol3: If it's Sheldon or Billy, the other will sleep just under the other cat, curled into my tummy, and Chumley will then sleep on my pillow, or down along my shin. If Chumley got to the neck first, Sheldon will sleep on my pillow, never cuddled up to Chum, but Billy will sleep cuddled up to Chum, curled up into my tummy. (I sleep on my side).

Flowerbelle sleeps curled into my knees, unless Gary's sick, then she sleeps on him. Always. :heart2:

Ming Loy Sleeps between my leg and Gary's leg (so the other side of Chumley if he's sleeping on my shin).

Spooky usually spends part of the night between our shoulders, though she doesn't like Chumley, so if he winds up on the pillow, she leaves.

Tuxie usually spends part of the night at the foot of the bed.

But there's always at least three of the eight cats in bed with us. TOTALLY changed our sleeping pattern, because we used to sleep curled up with each other. Now there's almost always a cat between us. :lol3:

Jekyll sleeps right between my partner and I, and insists on having one paw on the each of us. He'll stay there all night or until one of us roll over and squish him :)

Hannah is my snuggle bug.  During the warmer months, which is most of the year, she will sleep at the foot of the bed on my side.  During the cooler months, she likes to sleep up along my side or under my armpit.  If it's really cold, she'll sleep under the blanket.  Sometimes, Tumbles will sleep with us, but not often.  Daisy doesn't sleep with us at all, but she does come down every morning and lay on me to wake me up. :)

Our newest addition Ghost sleeps right by my head most of the time or he squeezes between the bed frame and window.

Before we brought ghost in, it was my husband, myself, or two Pugs and the two youngest cats we have (Rin and Sadie). One dog slept between my husbands knees, the other dog slept at the foot of the bed, Rin slept between us and Sadie let me cuddle her like a teddy bear for hours at a time. We have a queen bed and it gets crowded but I don't mind :)

Mouse is definitely a bed fan, sadly it doesn't seem to matter whether I'm in it or not!   He isn't a lap cat when I'm up but he does sleep with me.  I hate it if he doesn't cuddle in for at least part of the night (I think he did it once when my mum was staying in the spare room and he snuggled in with her - until she started snoring at about 7 am 
).  He pretty much always jumps up on to me the minute the light gets turned out and I lie down. I get what I call my pawsage (four paw kneading - paw digits only, no claws) over my body and arms for up to 20 minutes and I just love it. Then he leaps off and vanishes for an hour or so on his compulsory  'mouse vigil', sitting either in front of the washing machine, or at a boxed in pipe in the spare room - watching for mice that NEVER come out. 
  Then he crunches a few biscuits in the absence of willing mice and sneaks back to bed and snoogles in somewhere around my legs unless it's really hot. If I lie on my back he'll curl up between my feet or knees, and if on my side he'll be behind my knees or in front of my hips.  If it's warm he chooses to sleep on the laundry basket under the open window though and I miss him. It's my fault, I put a big folded up fleece there for him.  He's great in winter as he generates an incredible amount of heat, and sometimes creeps under the covers and sleeps at my feet. 


(In case you're wondering, yes, I am a light sleeper).
