Queen size here. It is just fine for me and the three cats, even though my cats don't like to snuggle close to each other. Usually one sleeps on my right, one on the left and one at my feet. When my husband was alive, we only had two cats. Usually then, only one cat would sleep with us. Apparently, they thought four was a crowd under those circumstances. If they'd been the type willing to sleep closer to each other, it wouldn't have been a problem, though.

I'd go with a queen...do you have an IKEA in your neck of the woods??

Personally, I've got a full sized bed right now, it's enough for 2 people a fat cat and a kitten. But we're both rather small people, the taller one of us topping out 5'5". I'm not looking to have that bed forever, definitely not if Ian and I decide to make official our tentative plans to get hitched 2007. However, the matress, frame, linens and everything cost me a measly 300 bucks at IKEA

King is what happens to be in the place I'm renting. It seemed huge when I first moved in! I had to buy new sheets since I had never had a king size bed. Queen has always been sufficient.

California King. Not sure what the difference is between regular king size and California king.

We have a queen but have talked about getting a king because we both like our space when we sleep.

I was curious also - and as all inquiring minds do, I went to Google. I came across the following at http://interiordec.about.com/od/buyi...bedsizes_3.htm

Sleep Like Royalty
With two sizes of King beds and four names, it can get confusing when you go shopping for a King Size Bed.

A Standard King is also called an Eastern King and a California King is also called a Western King.

A Standard King is about 4" wider and a California King is 4" longer.

Yup, Ikea is what I'm planning on.
It's gonna cost me more than twice what you paid for everything, though
(which is probably nothing to some people, but to me it's a LOT) - I was bored one day and checked out various nations' Ikea websites just because I'm a dork like that, and I was so shocked at how much cheaper Ikea is in the States... even when you factor in the exchange rate, it's still way cheaper there than here. Bah.

I don't think there'll ever be a bed big enough if your cats are going to let you sleep in it, too. We have a queen-size and it's great, but if the lumps ever got off it it would feel 50 times bigger! A tiny kitty can take up a LOT of room LOL

I have a queen and it's big enough for me & my cat. I used to have a california king, but I gave it away. I think queen is a nice size, and it's easier (and cheaper) to get linens for.

We have a double bed. It's not really mine; the cats are just willing to share it with me.
