Mattie has become my resident body sleeper.  I sleep on my side and she
climbs up there - starting at my feet - and curls up on my hip or on my
rib cage depending on her preference at the time.  I find this very
comforting and I have found I sleep better with her there than with her
not, so I will even call her into the bedroom when it is time to go to
bed so she will come to sleep.

The problem?  As some on this group so aptly put it, she has excellent
control of her personal mass.  When I need to get up to go to the
bathroom, moving her off of me requires an act of God.  I find it hard
to believe I can't pick up a 10 pound cat and move her where I want in a
double bed, butI can't.  She stays glued to some part of me.  Purring
the whole time, I might add, just to add insult to injury.  I eventually
end up relocating her to someplace on the bed that she finds acceptable
and when I come back, she is still there and will sleep there the rest
of the night - usually up by my pillows.  I really wish she would take a
lesson or two from Tony who when I make the merest suggestion that I
want to get up, gets up and moves to a different part of the bed.  Of
course when I come back, he is right back in the old spot.

I'm just afraid that one of these days I am going to wet the bed while I
try desparately to move Mattie.  Does anyone else have a cat with this
much control over its person mass?
