Does your cat(s) sleep with you at night?

I should have ticked other actually. Pebbles lives in my bedroom, so my bed is her bed. Still havent got used to the litter tray in the bedroom though, as she wakes me up every time she uses it. I have a pattern where i sleep on my right side for so long and then turn over - as soon as i turn over, she is at the top of the bed fussing to come under. She sometimes sleeps so close to me I can feel her breath on my face. Have never had a cat like it. Ginger is temperamental about sleeping on the bed, he used to prefer sleeping on a cat bed in my room and then stopped and started sleeping downstairs. I will occasionally wake up to find him on the bed, but normally wake up to him eating Pebbles biscuits. And foster cats have to stay in their own room at night until i am certain they will all get on.

My answer is YES and I wake up in the middle of the night completely paralysed with my legs numb from the knee down because all the cats are laying on the back of my legs. See, I've got an electric blanket and I like to have it on because my husband keeps the house POLAR. Peter told me he got up one morning and all 7 of our cats were sleeping on me : (

I think I would probably sleep better without them all sleeping on me, but I just don't have the heart to kick them off the bed.

Belle does, Annie does sometimes, and Billy will occasionally lie at my feet until I fall asleep. CJ never snuggles with me, though she did when she was a kitten.

Mini has slept with us since she was a kitten. She was very persistent about it, too.
Tucker has never slept with us, so at first I wasn't used to her little body crawling all over & would put her down, but she would only claw her way back up.
Now I feel relaxed when she makes her way into bed sometime after I settle in for the night. She likes to nap with me, too. most times she will curl up next to my chest, I think she must like the feel of my heartbeat. I like to have her there & feel like I can't settle down till she gets into bed. It makes up for the aggravating moments of having my hair pulled at 5am when she decides to wake mom up by walking across the pillow.

Gremlin sleeps on the end of the bed and I'm sure he comes and goes as he pleases... he enjoys sleeping under the bed as well. As a kitten he used to sleep on my back lol

Does our cat(s) allow US to sleep with THEM! Hahaha! Ours took over our bed! And she is only 4 months old! I'm lucky I get to share a piece of my pillow with her!

Hobbes sleeps with us in our room at night, with the door close. He usually sleeps through morning, so we don't really have to worry about him wanting to use the litter box. He has a few spots in our bedroom: his own bed, under our bed, and between us ON our bed.

So, do you allow your cats to sleep with you?

Yup...both sides of the bed has bed have been claimed and they are well marked with cat fur.

When we first got our little ones, my husband wasn't comfortable allowing them into the room (he wasn't comfortable with the prospect of them watching during...well...ya know...LOL!!), but when we moved into this particular place, we leave it open until about 4am to let the cold of the AC move into our room from the livingroom.

They've enjoyed the time with us, but don't ever really try to sleep on the bed with us. They started out wanting to lay on the bed, but now I've noticed that they've found their own places they like in the room. For instance, Sunny likes sleeping on the dresser (she likes high places, and it's the highest in the room), and Hobbes likes laying on the floor right in front of the bed (he's a bit of a guard cat, so he likes to be "guarding" the bedroom door).

Every now and then they jump on the bed and lay at my feet, but it's rare anymore.

i think if u really love ur cat enough u will let it sleep with u.u can always spay frebrez or any odor spay to make the air better.me myself i dont sleep with my cat cuz hes an outdoor cat!!! and hes never home besides to eat.then again in the winter he will sleep on the rug down stairs for some reason he dose not like sleeping with people.

Oliver sleeps by my feet or curled up at my tummy. Tripod sleeps wherever he wants. Sometimes he's next to me on the bed. Sometimes he tries to sleep right on my BF's head, but he doesn't get away with that for long.

Taffy sleeps with me at the foot of my bed. I think its a comfort for her as she was a year old when I got her so she's like a 2 year old baby/kitten. I don't mind as its a comfort to me too.

Cupid sleeps with me for a little bit...I move so much when I'm sleeping that I usually wake up to him sleeping in his own bed. Last night he kept waking me up by sticking his little head under me hands to get me to rub. I'd rub until I fell back asleep.

With me it's the same almost every night:

11pm: "Are you going to be good boys and girls and let daddy sleep through the night???? Of COURSE you will........."

2am: "G*D D**M IT!!!! Get out of my room this instant and let me sleep! I have to work all day tomorrow to feed you and buy you litter!"

6am: "Hold on! Let me turn the alarm off before I open the door and let you terrorize me again!!!"

And so it goes, day after day after day............

Fluffy hates to sleep with me, but she loves to wake me up for food at 3:45 every morning. Snuggles, my newest additon loves to cuddle. It's kind of annoying. She loves to sleep on my back and under my chin. She just loves to stay close. She also loves to lick my face while I sleep.

my kittens do that, too! when they first came here, our bedroom was their 'safe room' so to speak (food water and litter), so they started sleeping with us; snooker curled between my and dh, and blossom sleeping either in my hair or on top of hubby.

but...hubby snores and the kittens couldn't take it, so they sleep allover the house...first the baby's cradle (really cute) then the changing table, then the sofa, and most recently in my son's room. he has a bunk bed/futon combo and keeps his stuffed puppy collection on the futon. those little kittens love getting snuggled up in there! occasionally they will come 'check' on us and take a little nap, then they start wrestling each other, attacking our feet, trying to crawl under the covers, etc. and they get thirsty and dash out to the kitchen, where their water and food are now. (litter's in the bathroom...i could not handle it in the bedroom!)

i could go on about my adorable kittens forever as i'm sure many of you understand so i guess my answer is no, but i miss them sometimes.

you sound just like my husband! 'cept he's got to 'scoop the poo' too since i'm expecting...

Looks like I am in the minority, but I let my cat have the run of the house, except my bed. I have dander issues. But once I covered the sectional and the futon with vinyl remnants and she is getting used to the feel, I am very happy. I baby sit a cat twice a year, and since I have a Kingsize waterbed, she would start playing with the little waves. I am afraid, even though front claws are gone, that it might spring a leak. My new kitty is very well manored and doesn't seem to care about the bed. I have a nice long dark corridor under the headboard that she seems to prefer. But she sleeps in different places all over the house, wakes me up after I have put the snooze on a few times, right on time. Florena

Hi, Florena--

Just so you know, I have had cats (with claws) and waterbeds for years, and while the bed has leaked on occasion, it was never from the cats. With me, it was simply not moisturizing the matress enough.

I love having the kitties on the bed in the evening. There's no better combination than my cats with me on the bed, a bowl of ice cream and Desperate Housewives on the TV! A recipe for heaven!

Loki sleeps with me tucked into my left armpit. Sleeping without him is not sleeping (literally) - can't get to sleep since I am so used to having him there!!!!
