So I rescued my cat 11 years ago. He’s my best friend and has slept in the bed with me ever since he came home. I now live with my girlfriend in a new place, and she doesn’t want the cat in the bedroom (she says she’s allergic, which I don’t always believe). I’m trying my best, but it just sucks. I toss and turn, I can’t sleep well at all. I didn’t realize how important it was to have him in the bed and how used to it I’ve become. I usually get up around 3:45am and go sleep with him In the adjacent room. My girlfriend thinks that I don’t sleep well because of her, so she’s sleeping on the couch downstairs, and says she wants me to get comfortable in the bed. I am hesitant to tell her it’s not her, it’s because my cat can’t be in there. When she goes to sleep on the couch I just pretend like I’m going to sleep in the bed, but then go into the other room where my cat is and sleep with him on the floor with a blanket. Obviously this is not sustainable, but what’s the best way to bring this up with her ?
