I just adopted a 12 week old ragdoll kitten today and she's clinging to me already! I need to know,as a bigger male,is it ok to let her sleep with me at night? I don't want to roll on her or anything. Like I said,she's taken to me and already sleeping on my lap as I type this so I sure as heck don't want to separate her from me.

Thanks for the help! Sorry if this is the wrong sub forum.

to TCS!

Letting her sleep with you should be fine (as long as she lets you sleep). It's doubtful that you'll roll over on her, and cats have such quick reflexes that she'll either move out of your way or let you know you're about to squish her. She might even want to sleep on top of you.

My Dushka has slept in the crook of my arm every night since she was 3 weeks old (she is now 12) and I took her in as an orphan with severe pneumonia. I was scared at first but we had no mishaps, and it was the only way I could keep her warm enough. The only problem now is her possessiveness of my lap and arm.
