I sleep on the floor in the living room because (reasons?) and was wondering if anyone else has a cat that lays near their leg/feet at night while you're sleeping? OR Riley will sit in her chair that's sitting by the window ( which is above me when I'm sleeping) 
 


I'd like to hear your story! :D

After my husband leaves for work, our orange tabby will jump on the bed and settle down near my feet.

Mine starts out near my head, then moves to my legs, then inevitably comes back to my head...

Mingo loves to sleep between my feet or knees, touching both sides when I'm on my back. If I'm lying on my side, he will snuggle to the bend behind my knees.

Aya likes to be a crotch kitty. When I'm on my side she hooks herself over my knees.

We have a night routine. Every single day when we go to bed, Snoop jumps to my bf belly, cuddles a little bit, purrssss and then he walks to hes spot(he likes to sleep exactly one corner of the bed on top of my feets) and falls a sleep. I think it so cute, like, He says good night and goes to sleep, every single night.

Yep! Sometimes he even sleeps under the covers with his head on my pillow.

He's a terror until I turn off the lights. Then he's like "Oh, time for bed!" and jumps up next to me and goes to sleep in about 12 seconds.

Sounds like Riley loves you. :D

Dudley sleeps all over my bed, he covers every inch at some stage.  But when he's down at the bottom end, he tends to either sit propped upright, with his paws over my legs, or ON my feet.  I'm convinced he likes being booted about by my tossing and turning, as he manages to "ride" my feet like a bucking broncho!  He also likes to spoon - I like this too

My cat often sleeps by or on my legs.  She also sleeps in the computer chair a foot or two from my head.

Fuzzy tends to sleep on or near my chest, which means Pierre can't.  I don't think Fuzzy would let him sleep closer to my head than he does
  So yes, Pierre usually sleeps near my legs.

Gracie is 4 months now and she has always slept with us since we brought her home at 7 weeks (we were told she was older when we got her and never been cat owners before so didn't question). She used to sleep behind my back then she would sleep above my partners head or between us ! I think as she's getting bigger she has started to curl up at the bottom of the bed near our feet !

My 1 yr old loves my legs when I'm wearing track pants(winter). She'll jump onto them and sleep balancing in the most precarious positions.
Then if she rolls of while asleep it's my fault.
Also it's a gauge how happy she is. The lower down my legs the more cranky she is. If she's at my feet she's cranky and will systematically turn to look at me like "I hate you soo much", hilarious.
Other times she breaks protocol and sleeps happy as Larry.
