Since we know how they wake you up, how do they sleep with you? Is it the same set-up everynight? Each one has their own place or what?

Poops sleeps at her dad's feet. Spot is my teddy bear. He ignores me most part of the day, but sleep time is ours. I sleep on my side and he lays next to me, on my arm or pillow and I have to
hold both his back feet in my other hand that is wrapped around him. His feet get cold, what can I say?


I was thinking about this last night. I would miss this the absolute most if Spot wasn't here anymore.

Sapphire sleeps at the bottom of the bed by my feet, but she's never there in the morning, probably because I'm a restless sleeper and I kick her a million times! Simon sleeps right next to me, trapping me in covers, and Vino sleeps on the other side of me

Oliver sleeps at the foot of the bed most of the time. Sometimes he curls up under the covers with me.

Tripod sleeps next to me for part of the night. He likes to lay on top of my arm. Once in awhile he crawls under the covers, but he doesn't curl up. He lays flat against me.

Off the subject, but does your cat, Tripod, have only 3 legs? I met a lady at the vet who did. She had the same name; I thought it was cute!

We normallly have 4 cats at any given time during the night. Most of them sleep at the foot of the bed. Once in a blue moon Vanna will sneak under the covers. Max will sleep in DH arm at night.

that's what my kitty does. Sometimes he'll stretch out and claw me in the face.
I usually wake up to him in my arms. I just feel bad when I have to wake up, because I don't want to ruin the moment.

I am a kitty mattress.


Trent doesn't like sleeping with us, although I wish he would. I think it's because he gets too hot with his longer, thick fur.

Ophelia apparently cannot sleep without snuggling with someone. Daddy rolls around too much at night, and I'm a better mattress.
So she sleeps on my legs, or in the crook of my knees depending on how I'm sleeping.

Pixel usually spends part of the night, if not all of it, sleeping on the bed. but after her bedtime pettins, she moves away for sleeping. Java also usually sleeps some on the bed, but down near my feet. i think Chip is going to be a bed sleeper...he tried last night, but Pixel made him leave
Cable almost never sleeps with me, & when she does, she's really sleeping with Pixel
Mouse used to curl up next to me so i could put my arm around her...i usually fell asleep that way

Gator used to sleep between my husband's and my pillows, but he's going through an independent phase right now and hasn't joined us lately. Seamus sleeps either on the top of the covers at the foot of the bed, under the covers by our feet or curled behind my legs, or he'll sit near my shoulder and rest his head and front paws on my shoulder.

Yen likes to sleep by my feet and the end of the bed...she seems like a watch cat or something. My old cat Sam used to sleep right on my pillow beside my ear. I loved that!

what we will do for our pets! (that's really cute!)


Our cats don't sleep with us. Gracie and Wowzer are inside/outside cats, so they sleep outside (their choice). I think Nate sleeps downstairs on the guest bed (because we shut our bedroom door!) My husband can't handle having cats around his head at night and just about every cat we've ever owned... that's right where they want to sleep - on his pillow!

Mine differ all the time, but there's always more than two, plus Pedro always under the covers, and sometimes Rain if the cats make room!

Our girls tend to sleep at our feet. Chloe usually at DH's and Iris at mine, but that's not a hard and fast rule. Sometimes Iris uses my hip as a pillow and Chloe snoozes on my calves.

Devin likes to curl up against me for awhile, purr like mad and wait for me to fall asleep and then he'll leave the bed.

Later in the night/morning, he'll sometimes sleep at our feet.

Most of the time, if I'm sleeping on my back, he'll strech out across my collarbone, push my head with his head and then wedge his head between my head and collarbone. It's uncomfortable but if it's right before I wake up I'll let him sleep there for a few. If it's too early for me to be up, I'll gently place him on the bean bag or next to JosÃ[emoji]169[/emoji]. If it's JosÃ[emoji]169[/emoji], he'll lick him a few times and JosÃ[emoji]169[/emoji] will wrap his arms around him and then Devin sleeps on his head abit.

There's no place like home
Scarlett starts on my right next to the pillow, then worms under covers. After a while she does the same to my husband's left side then usually tucks herself between us for the duration.

Stumpy sleeps between us near our hips.

Eightball starts on my chest, then makes his way down to the foot of the bed by my feet.

Muddy sleeps by hubby's feet.

Koko waits until Scarlett leaves hubby's covers then tucks herself in there.

Spanky lays on my legs.

Oscar, Pinky, Sage and Dakota come up for some lovin', then settle somewhere near our feet. Sage tries to snuggle with Scarlett, but she's too much of a queen to lower herself to a younger cat.

Bob, when he is inside, piles somewhere near our feet.

When I wake up, Stumpy, Pinky and Spanky (my big boys) are nestled around me and get mad when I get up. Doesn't matter if hubby is already out of bed, they wait for me to rise. Dakota or Sage are typically on the bed around this time.

And yes, I sleep HARD with all the cats around me.

Harley used to sleep with us on his own pillow - but lately he's been sleeping out on the couch with a fleece blanket


But when he does sleep with us, its up on top of the bed on his own big feather pillow

Movin' on up!
Mine shift around. When I first go to bed, I have to move Rowdy off of my pillows. She then shifts to the other side of the bed. Opie likes to snuggle against my left side and Buddy gets my right.

Sometimes, Rowdy gets to my left side, before Opie comes to bed so, he just plunks himself onto my stomach. At some point during the night, Buddy and Rowdy move to the foot of the bed.

Sash sleeps curled up in my arm and I fall asleep with my arm around him.
I'm in heaven when we cuddle at night.

Jack Daniels sleeps by my side. He has to make sure that he's pressed up against me. If he's scared he'll sleep up by my head in a "protective" way.
