Our baby boys slept with us for the first time last night!!!
When we first brought them home we were in the midst of renovations so we isolated them at nights in the laundry... now "the cat room". It's a nice big comfy room with their foot, water, litter a cat condo and basket.
Then once we'd had them a few weeks and the house was kitty proofed we tried leaving our bedroom open at night, but of course theur true nocturnal natures came out and they wanted to pllllayyyyy!
So we made the policy that the cats get the run of the house EXCEPT our bedroom when it's sleep time for us humans! They are more than happy with this, and are sure to let us know if we are sleeping in by meows at our door!
ANYWAY....last night I was watching some tv in bed and the boys were curled up with me so I just never bothered to kick them out! Hubby came to bed in the mean time as well, and at about 11:30 mumbled "this wont last 4 minutes".
Lo and behold, we got a solid sleep until 2:30am when they boys decided they wanted to purr up on mum's face! hehehe. I put them back down the bottom of the bed and they went off to sleep again!
Of course at about 5am when they saw light they determined it was now play time and mum and dad should be up with them! hehehe
But it was fun
Who knows if we'll be able to do it again, but hopefully the boys have now grown up a little and matured enough that they understand sleep time!
