DH and I have been keeping Carl in the living room at night. Up until this week, he has lived soley in the living room, kitchen, dining rooms (until his Soft Paws were put on) and he has been allowed in the bedroom/bathroom area only when DH and I are in the house. So this weekend we let him have free range to roam.
Sat night we decided to leave all the doors open through the night, and he ended up sleeping with us in our bed. I am a really really light sleeper, so he kept me awake and I was exhausted the next day. Sunday night he was back in the living room (where he has French doors to look out of, his cat tree and beds, toys, etc so he is happy there too) and he seemed to not care either way. He meows when he hears DH and I get up in the morning, but other than that he seems to not care whether we let him in the bedroom.
I do feel bad though when we are gone at work and only really play with him and see him at night (and me at lunch). When we are home though it's usually all about him, and he gets tons of attention and scritches.
So, my point: How many TCSers let their cats sleep with them? Also, if you share your bed with your kitty, do you also share it with another person? Just trying to find out whether we are the minority or not?
