Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / April 2005Sleeping Beauty/Sleeping Cat
My cat sleeps in the bed with me. He likes to sleep on top of the blanket leaning on my side - this stops me from rolling over on him..But it also stops me from rolling over when I want to. He switches from side to side, there is no pattern to it. Why does he sleep in the bed, does he like the warmth, is he waiting for food... To be blunt - my girlfriend does not like to sleep in my bed because she doesn't like the cat there - she says it's him or her. I can't sleep at her house because she lives with her mother. How can I get him to sleep in his own bed - he just ignores it, it's a nice bed I paid over $30 for it and he never uses it. I'm sure this all sounds very funny but it really isn't. >Why does he sleep in the bed, does he like the warmth, is he waiting for >food... Many cats love the physical and emotional comfort of sleeping with their human. And yes, cats like warmth. >To be blunt - my girlfriend does not like to sleep in my bed because she >doesn't like the cat there - she says it's him or her.

Dump the girlfriend. If she doesn't like your cat, do you really want her in your life? When I travel, I really miss my cat Skipjack sleeping up against me (he moves around with me during the night quite well). Years ago, I had a little cat named Mitze who liked to sleep between my legs. When I wanted to roll over, I had to draw one leg up and around her to accomplish that. I was staying in a hotel one night, and went to roll over, and drew my leg up. I woke myself up laughing at how patterned I was!

Put him and his bed at the far end of your place with box, food, and water and close the bedroom door. > To be blunt - my girlfriend does not like to sleep in my bed because she > doesn't like the cat there - she says it's him or her.

On the other hand, I don't think I'd want to sleep with anyone who doesn't like a cat. :) Signaturehttp://www.slywy.com/ >> To be blunt - my girlfriend does not like to sleep in my bed because she >> doesn't like the cat there - she says it's him or her.

He switches from side to side, >there is no pattern to it. No need to worry about (gently) displacing your cat when you need a little more space. With practice, the two of you will learn to make adjustments without either of you having to be really awake. If he finds it too irritating, he'll just leave you a little more space to begin with. I'm a restless sleeper, so my cats have had to learn to put up with it. I used to be diffident about waking them when they are sleeping comfortably, but then I thought, "Hey, they have no compunction about waking me -- and they can get back to sleep much faster than I can."

The question you should be asking yourself is, who's well being is more important? The cat who will be forever faithful or the girlfriend who you'll no doubt break up with over some other issue down the road? > My cat sleeps in the bed with me.

I have two kittens, and I keep them out of my bedroom for two reasons: 1. When the sleep with me they always wake me up around 4-5 am by meaowing loudly and running across my head :) 2. I dont like the idea of them going back and forth from the litter box to the pillow > My cat sleeps in the bed with me.

Dump her for a cat lover. :D [ this half-joking advice brought to you by someone who saw closing the door and other helpful advice in the thread already ] Signature-- ~kaeli~ Contrary to popular opinion, the plural of 'anecdote' is not 'fact'. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace <SNIP> > To be blunt - my girlfriend does not like to sleep in my bed because she > doesn't like the cat there - she says it's him or her.

Then, start thinking about finding a girl who likes cats.

I lay where I want, but I've learned to move very slow... I'm sure you appreciate the cats affections...He's probably a little jealous and does not want to share you / and you probably don't have the heart to put him in his bed... Tis a pickle no doubt about it > My cat sleeps in the bed with me. He likes to sleep on top of the blanket Wait...I take it all back...it's not about the cat I've been in love before...and if you are posting about it..then it ain't love. I mean, when a man loves a woman, he'll spend his very last dime, trying to hold on to what he has... give up all his comfort, sleep out in the rain, if she say baby that's the way it's gonna be... Am I right about it! Lemme hear ya say yeah! Wave your hands if you know what Im talkin about! The roof...the roof... > I mean, when a man loves a woman, he'll spend his very last dime, > trying to hold on to what he has... What about that old poem, if you love something, let it go?

The tightasses damned near took over a month or so ago. I just know they will try it again. > > I mean, when a man loves a woman, he'll spend his very last dime, > > trying to hold on to what he has... > > What about that old poem, if you love something, let it go?

I like the one that goes "if you love something set it free. If it doesn't come back to you hunt it down and kill it. |
