Does your cat sleep with you?

I used to have a cat that sleeps with me and makes me awake for the rest of the night. It was funny but I love her. Her name was Bubbles. When she was a kitten, I let her sleep in my room then at night, she wouldn't let me sleep. She bites my ears and licks y face and when I covered myself with the blanket, she finds ways to get inside and bites my ears.
When she grew bigger I let her stay outside the room. I love cats and I love cuddling them. But with my experience, I don't like them to sleep with me as they won't let me sleep all night.

My cat Razzle sleeps with me. She demands attention if she can find my hands, but if I hide them under the covers, she thinks I can't pet her! Then she usually finds a spot and curls up. She's a little cat but she still keeps me warm.

Yes, I sleep with my cats. They want the loving when I first lay down, but soon we are all sleeping. However, Scamp does sometimes wake me up, but mostly if he thinks I'm already awake, but he keeps me from getting back to sleep.
However, if I try to shut him out, then he'll make enough noise to wake the rest of the house - he's part Siamese and has the voice and isn't afraid to use it!
I used to know a cat named Bubbles. He was a big - I mean HUGE - fat black and white cat that lived at the vets. It was sad, but because he was dying on Labor Day one year, they managed to rescue a sick little Siamese someone dumped at their door. They named him Spiderman.

Yes, they are sometimes naughty but I love their naughtiness. They are like little children.

My one cat sleeps with me, and the other one could care less. The one that does is very, very old, somewhere around 18 years old. On the side of the bed that's not used, I made a little 3 step staircase so that she can get up there whenever she wants. She walks ok, and is not sick, she just can't jump up onto the bed anymore (or doesn't want to lol.) She doesn't lie very close to me, but prefers this one corner of the bed where my feet won't bother her. Very rarely will she come up by my head or arms. She's never really liked to get petted much, and even if you do it gently she will move rather than be petted. So, it's petting on her terms or not at all. She never bothers me while I'm sleeping, and that's OK by me lol.

I share my double bed with all four of my cats and they use it for a lot of time during the day too. They love to get under the bedspread and just on top of the blanket. I never let them on the sheets. They're very good and don't wake me up. The only problem is that I have to wash all the bedding including the blankets and bedspread every week. It takes a bit of time but they're worth it.
