Do Your Cats Sleep With You?

When I was growing up, I always had cats. None of them were ever allowed to stay in the house overnight. They could come in and out as they pleased all day long, but when night came, they were sequestered in our enclosed porch. Well, there was one exception to that rule. The only cat who was allowed to stay inside all night long was my Siamese. She was allowed to sleep in my room with me. She had moments when she would want to snuggle as we slept. But most of the time, she preferred to sleep at the foot of the bed. Now that I'm in my own place, I still have cats. They are strictly indoor cats too. But they don't get to have free roam of the house at night. I've unfortunately had some difficulties with them getting into things or making messes when left to their own accord. So again, I've gone back to keeping the cats housed in the porch so they can't get into whatever they're not supposed to. I'd really love to be able to let them stay out and about and even sleep in the room with me if they so desired. I just can't stand the thought of things getting messed up while I sleep. Oh, and speaking of sleeping places for the cats--back to my Siamese. It was so funny because she had one favourite spot to sleep when she wasn't camped out at the foot of my bed. If ever I wanted her, I knew I could find her on the back of the couch on the right side. Never the left. Always the right. And how did I know it was always the right side? First, that was the side that was constantly covered in cat fur, no matter how much I'd try to groom her to get the loose hair off. That, and when you looked at the couch when she wasn't on it, there was a permanent divot dug into the back of the couch where she'd smooshed the padding/cushion down from spending so much time there. Too funny! lol

Yes, Dolce(my Siamese) is allowed whereever she wants to go. The only place she is not allowed is the counters in the kitchen and the dinner table. She doesnt really like them anyways, and they are hard. She sleeps in the bed with us at night, at he foot of the bed. Her other favorite place is a box top that I got from Costco. She sleeps in the top of the box while we are eating dinner and watching tv, then goes to bed when we go. Dolce does not have a bed of her own, she takes over ours, regardless of whether we are in it or not. :)

All three of my cats sleep with me, but my girl sleeps with me more than my boys, she truly is a momma's girl.

One of my cats Lilly likes to sleep with me. She's very high strung and doesn't like to associate with the others. If another cat came in to sleep with me she sleeps on the radiator next to my bed. But if she hasn't been chased away, she's usually there the next morning.

i love my cat before and we always shared on my beds. now, my cat are sleep outside my room but i provided him a mat that he can sleep all night with a good sleep. i remember every dawn my cat lying on my tummy.

cats must not sleep with people it can be the reason of many diseases cats must sleep separated from any body.

Nope I don't sleep with my cat that I have, I have tried that and they might start at the foot of the bed but I would always wake up with her at the top of the bed usually on my pillow or my head and once across my neck so no cats in the bedroom. I don't allow then in the bedroom occasionally she might get in there if the door was left open but I usually get her out. She is ready to pop with kitties anyday now which we are excited about(me, not hubby)But I find that kittens bring alot of joy to a home and liven up everything. It is a joy just to watch them play. Your Mia is a beauty.

Well out of the 4 cats that we have its not uncommon for at least two of them to sleep on my bed with me...My youngest cat, Ostara, actually comes downstairs to get me if i'm not in bed at a certain time which is funny really...She sleeps with me every night pretty much...Come to think of it the only cat that DOESNT ever sleep on my bed is Maggie..in fact she doesnt sleep with any of us..She likes the back of the sofa instead LOL

Moomin originally slept in a cat bed I made for him, lined with an old sheepskin rug. However, he soon discovered my bed and now that's the only place he will sleep at night. He will happily curl up on the sofa during the day but as soon as my partner and I put the lights out at night, he's upstairs and on our bed.

Lets see, the roomie came in as I was getting up from my nap today and I had, one cat by my head, one cat by my waist, one cat on top of me, one cat on my legs and another leaning on a leg. I have had up to 11 cats in my twin bed with me, but it was a really COLD night and I didn't have a heavy enough blanket so I didn't mind, the only places I was warm was where the cats were.

hmm my cats have free-range over every single place of my home. they'll pick and choose where they want to spend the night. if they decided that they want my bed, i'd have to shift to one side for them. if they want my parents' bed, my parents will actually 'contort' themselves to make sure there's enough space. cats rule my household and we have no complaints! in fact, we feel happy that they choose to sleep with us. guess we are really crazy about our cats. :D

my cat sleeps with me on my bed, but he is free to move around. sometimes he walks around the room, sits at the window, looking outside, goes into the bathroom, maybe even goes downstairs. but usually when i wake up, he is sleeping by me on the bed, and usually staring at my face, willing me to get up and feed him. mia looks cute.

I don't like feather of cats. It's no good for my health. Special I have lung disease. I have bed for it can sleep without the weather is cold or rain.

Hi there, My cat and kitten sleep in there own beds in the dining room. I don't hold with pets going upstairs. We have a middle door than leads through to our hallway and stairs to upstairs. We have taught the cats that they are not allowed to go through the doorway. The kitten still likes to try and slip through the doorway. We just call him back, close the door for a while and then re open the door. On the whole they are very good and rarely go through the door. I think it depends on who you are, the outlay of your house and if you like to have your pets to have free run of your house. I personally think all animals should have there own beds in a closed off room.

When I am at home, my cat sticks to me like glue! When I go to bed, he immediately follows. When I sit down to eat, he wants some too. When I sit down to work at my laptop, he bats at my fingers, and tries to get on the keyboard.

When I had a cat, and I had two of them, not counting the time I was living at home with my parents, the cats had their own place to sleep. All the cats I had were outdoor cats, so they slept where they liked and disappeared during the day. They only came back when they wanted to eat or when they wanted attention. For some silly reason even though I am a dog person, cats like me.

Maybe there's a reason my kids call me the Crazy Cat Lady. I have three cats, and they do sleep with me. One usually sleeps above my head with one paw touching me either on the shoulder or on my cheek. Another likes to sleep between my legs, and he refuses to budge even if I turn at night. He's 17 pounds, and the weight feels like a ton after a while. Then there's my free-spirited turkish angora who will sleep wherever she feels like it. Sometimes it's in the bed with me, or on the floor, or on the windowsill above my bed. It depends upon the weather or her mood.

Well! Haha,very interesting!When I was young,I liked cats and dogs very much!and there were a cat and a dog in my family!As the reason of that we lived in the country,the animals were dirty!so we wouldn't let the cat sleep with us!But if they were much clean,Iwould like to sleep with them very much--espacially,I like hearing the sounds when the cats are breathing !!!What's important,cats are very cut and clever animals!So I like them very much!!!!

My cats are allowed to sleep in the bed during the winter months, but in the summer when we have the mosquito nets up they can't be trusted not to climb them so they're banned from the bedrooms. My two cats play quite happily with each other outdoors all day, but at night they don't like to be close to each other so one take sup residence with my eldest son, and one sleeps on my bed. The one that sleeps with my son likes to burrow down under the covers! It's getting to be that time of year ago when the nets will go up again soon, so the cats will get the bumsrush shortly.

My Josie sleeps with me. She not only purrs very loud, she also snores. Peaches sleeps in a towel closet in the bathroom; we have to leave the door opened for her. Paisley sleeps on the computer chair. Arthur sleeps in the underwear drawer. I have trouble sleeping without Josie. She also tells me when it's time to go to bed by pawing at my leg until I go upstairs with her.
