I love cats and I like when I sleep with my cat. Sometimes she will be the one who will go to my bed and sleep and sometimes I will get her and she didn't want to. LOL, I like them because cats are sweet and lovely.:)

yes, my cats sleep with us, along with the 2 dogs. There's usually both dogs, my husband and I, and 1 of the 2 cats on the bed at night - good thing we have a king size bed!

I used to sleep with my cat too. While I was sleeping with him, I was forced to stay in the position because I didn't want to disturb him and wake him up. Especially, when it's cold, just that I put my blanket up while lying down, he just ran in to me. He like to sleep beside me, nearby my feet. It's really warm. When he was so young he used to sleep above my head hahaha. I miss him a lot. Really sweet and lovely!

I have 3 and they take turns, but usually none of them are there the whole night. Tiger and Oreo like to sleep at the foot of the bed, but Jason likes to sleep right on top of me!

Only one of our 4 cats sleeps with me. Josie sleeps near my head and purrs me to sleep. She wakes me up by rubbing on my chin and nose. Then, she lies on my chest until I ask her to move so that I can actually get out of bed. I wouldn't be able to fall asleep without the music of her lovely rumbling purr.

My cats will not sleep anywhere else. My cat Blackee will climb under the covers and sleep under them until she gets warm then she hisses at you until I take them off. It does not matter if I am cold, if she says take them off I have to take them off, My cat Kali sleeps on top of me and so will my cat Smyles. Smyles will come on the bed and watch tv with us. If he sees a cat on TV he will react. Last night he was funny. There was a commercial for Vlassic Pickles where the cat is laying in the window and the girl crunches on the pickleand the cat goes Meow. Well Smyles was looking around to see where the Meow came from. He could not figure out how the TV set can Meow.

I'm more than happy to have the cats sleep with me so long as they don't sleep on my face or wake me up. I don't care if they are grooming, poking me, attacking me, landing on me, falling off a bookshelf onto me, chewing on my fingers or any other way of waking me up, I don't like it...

Hello, Yes, my cat sleeps with me every night, she loves the bed and getting comfy lol, it's very nice to have her sleep with me, it's comforting and I love her very much. She is very spoiled, I know some people don't like their pets on the bed but she's like my child lol and we saved her from getting put to sleep, she came from a house that had too many cats, they were going to put her down because she was in a shelter and no one wanted to adopt her. She is very healthy now and very happy and I hope things get better for me and I don't lose my apartment because I don't have a job, if I had to give her away, I'd cry. She hates other cats and most people because of what she went through in the past so I really doubt she'd survive if she lived with someone else or was put back into a shelter.

Yeah, as far as I am concerned, I like the cat so much When I was so young I have raise two cats as my favorite pet. But freankly speaking , I seldom put my cats on my bed when I am sleep. I just sleep on my bed alone ,and set the cats aside which they just play with themselves. They still can enjoy a lot of fun by themselves without me.

Sometimes I do, but I never force them to do something they don't want to do. If the cat isn't already in the room, or oesn't fallow me into the room, then I go on to bed. Most often Precious will join me, other times he doesn't. Other then that, nothing else happens. I let the cats do what they want. They'll trust you more if they don't feel forced.

I love cat's too but i don,t want to sleep with them because of their fur. It is not good when we see everymorning that there are cat's fur in our bed sheet. Besides, cats fur are dangerous and health hazardous specially if you are concern with your lungs health. Fur could be dangerous as it has particles that might be inhaled and got into the lungs. When it happen, your lungs will be in great trouble. For me, there are proper places where cat's sleeps, human bedrooms and bed are for humans not for cats. If you want to keep in touch with cats and you don't want them to be away with you, it is possible to allow those cats inside our rooms but we should make sure that they will stay in a particular place in the room where they can play or rest make sure that they will not play or sleep in your bed.

Personally, I used to sleep with my kitten all the time, when I didnt want to and when she didnt want to. But then i discovered he had fleas and ticks and I felt so naive. We had just gotten him and I didnt even bathe him. I was just so distracted with getting im settled in and taking pics of him while he ws still tiny. So I had to force us to break the habit as I gave him baths everyday and put his meds on. Today, we still dont, even though I sometimes wish I could. The thing is, I'm really OCD and he walks everywhere and doesn't wipe himself like humans.=/

I LOVE cats also. They are so silly!!! My cat's jump up in the night with me on the couch allowing me not much room to move around when I am trying to sleep, but I just let them be because they are spoiled and I wouldn't have the heart to knock them down.

I also loved my cat when I was a girl. Every midnight, it would jump up to my bed and get into my quilt, that would always woke my up and then I will help it to get in. Sometimes, it sleep by my side, sometimes, it put its head to my hand, sometimes, it bent over my stomach```, it is so interesting.

I sleep with my cat too. I take care of my cat since birth. When she was 1 week old, I need to feed her milk every 2 hours. I need to come back from University and feed her although I have class. When I flash back my memory, that is so sweet. She sleeps with me everyday. I notice she likes to sleep between my legs. Maybe she likes the warmness when sleeping.
