I usually have a cat on both sides of my pillow. Sometimes Vilma will climb on top of my back and as small as she is I will wake up in the morning with a backache. But she's so cute when sleeping next to me that she won't be banned from bedroom

Dori sleeps with me just about every night. It's a little weird, but if she doesn't sleep in her normal spot I find myself restless and end up getting no sleep

Gandalf and Samwise sleep in the bed with me. That being said they only do it sometimes. If it is too hot out then they find other places to sleep which makes me sad but every night regardless of if they sleep with me they come into the room and make sure I get settled into bed and demand a little loving then find their own sleeping spots.

I love it when my kitty curls up with me at night and falls asleep to a soft gentle purr. But in the middle of the night she likes to wake up and skip around on the bed as she pleases. So I can't sleep at that point and I make her leave. But then she jumps on again and again and plays around as if my bed is a playground. When it gets to much, I take her out of the bedroom and close the door behind her.

My cat never sleeps with me on my bed. Not because I don't let her, because she doesn't want to. Whenever she goes in my room she just snoops around and messes up everything and makes tons of noise so I have to close the door.

of course! i would never deny any of them access to any room or spot in the house


nass sleeps on the end of the bed, pandy sleeps by my side and bonnie sleeps where ever she wants


i can't stand people that complain about cats hygiene, most the cats iv'e met are cleaner than some people iv'e seen


besides, if i locked pandy out i'd never hear the end of it, she just has to be with me all the time.

To quote Ryan: absosmurfly!
Eppie will jump up on the bed a couple of times during the night and snuggle with me. But she prefers her special kitty bed, which I keep on the floor by my side of the bed. Cosette sleeps all over the bed- wherever she feels like it. Sometimes it's on Bradley's pillow, sometimes it's on my pillow, and sometimes it's forming a "kitty barrier" between the two of us.
A bed is not complete without a kitty or two

Mischief will occassionally grace us with her presence at night, but prefers under the bed or her cat napper. Kisa, on the other hand, will lay next to our pillows, our head and just purr away. As long as she doesn't start playing in the middle of the night, she can stay there.

From the looks of things you'd think I sleep in the cats' bed instead of the other way around.

The only reason I get any deference at all in this matter is because I'm roughly ten times their size and can pick them up and move them out of the way.

Max is our snuggle bug. He loves to get into the bed between my husband and I. My husband complains but if Max is not there, he will go find him and bring him into the bed!

Simon will sleep in the bed as long as my husband is not in it. My husband works nights so Simon gets about half the night in the bed, until my husband gets home!

They're all welcome to sleep with MommyCat and I, and on any given night at least two of them will. Of course, it's anyone's guess who will go to bed with us and who will be with us in the morning, it's rarely the same two!

Maya sleeps with us every night
On my side of course, bf pushed her off the bed once(an accident of course), so she stays away from him side....We are so used to it that if she doesn't come in to the bedroom at the same time as us, one of us gets up to check where she is

Everynight!
Sash used to sleep on my pillow with his head on top of mine but I think he got too big for that. He now lays up against my back or usually cuddled in my arm and I fall asleep with my arm around him.

No, my cats don't sleep with me...however, they do sleep with one of the kids every night, usually 9 y/o dd. In fact, she gets upset if Garfield isn't with her, because if she wakes up, he comforts her. (He also wakes her up sometimes, and has occasionally left a scratch on her sweet face...) Our bedroom door is usually kept closed, and our dog sleeps on the floor in our room. If the cats slept on our bed, I think she would be offended!

You can catch ear mites from sleeping with a cat. But the lesson is "don't let your cat catch ear mites" rather than "don't sleep with a cat"!

I said other, because while I don't mind them sleeping with me at all, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. Milo and I nap together all the time, but lately he hasn't really been sleeping with me at night

Pixie pretty much never sleeps on the bed with me anymore, she hasn't for at least a year. So the invitation is always open, but it's not always accepted.

Buster will sleep with me if he can snuggle himself under the covers (strictly a tent cat
)...Ashley sleeps at the foot of the bed...Ally sleeps over my head...Bob sleeps around my neck like a scarf or whichever arm he can squeeze himself into....Thank Goodness for King Size Beds!!
