Anyone have a cat who likes to sleep on them?

[dc1985]

With all respect to your friend she has no clue
The reason your cats sleep with you is simple
A cat no matter how domesticated still has it's wildlife instinct
A cat in the wild like most animals is at it's most vulnerable when sleeping
So cats both wild and domesticated always try to find to safest place to sleep
A place where they feel most secure
And for a wild cat it's usually high up in a tree
But for a domestic cat or in your cat Mitty
The safest place is curled up with the person who feeds her plays with her
And keeps her safe
She isn't being domineering she is finding the safest place to sleep
Where she can sleep without being attacked or hurt
She is seeking a place to fall into a deep slumber
She need a resting spot that is secure.
What's better than resting right next to you -- the master of her castle?
And curling up on top of you makes her feel safe.
So she will be able to drift off into dreamland for hours, without the fear of anything dangerous occurring. No predators could possibly harm her while you're right there

Frankie loves to sleep on me.  He actually straddles my legs... and goes to sleep.  Or he will climb up on my back if I am laying on my stomach.  He is adorable when he does it and I love the attention !!!!

I don't think my cats want to dominate me by sleeping on me. I think they just want to steal my body heat, especially in the cold winter months. Usually, Boogie Bear will snuggle up to my left side or sleep to the left of my head. Sgt. Pepper will start on my chest and heat-butt me to pet him. So I'll pull him under the covers so my arms aren't freezing while petting him. He likes that when it's cold. If I lie on my back, he will eventually move down and sleep between my legs. If I lie on my side, he stay on my right side or curl up in the crook of my knees. In warmer weather, they tend to sleep more at the foot of the bed.
