Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2004POLL: Where does your cat sleep?
Where does your cat sleep at night? For me, sometimes it varies. Sometimes its on the bed with me. Sometimes she sleeps on the couch. She has access to the entire place, but sometimes choose not to share body heat w/ me.  SignatureMy cat's job is to look pretty, smell good, sleep, eat, pee, & poop, in that order. >Where does your cat sleep at night? > >For me, sometimes it varies. Sometimes its on the bed with me. Sometimes >she sleeps on the couch. She has access to the entire place, but sometimes >choose not to share body heat w/ me. My boys sleep on the bed with us, and have ever since the first night they were home. :) They don't always spend the whole night with us, but they're always there for part of it.

Artemis sleeps on my pillow every night. The other 6 come and go throughout the night. But usually Rye, Marble and Luna will be on the bed for most of the night. Every so often I'll wake up and not be able to move because there's me, my boyfriend, and 7 cats on the bed. I gladly give up my leg room to them :) Nikki > Where does your cat sleep at night? Used to be I had one resting under my arm, and another under the covers at my knees. Then I met DH and he is allergic, so they have their own space now. Now one sleeps with the Basenji mix, and the other has her own special place "way up high". She's Queen Kitty, ya know...;) -L. I have 2 cats: Newcomer cat sleeps in the bedroom (on the bed, on the sill, on the hamper, on the chair, behind the bookcase, and in the bed)... Resident cat sleeps in many places outside the bedroom and, when he behaves, sleeps in the bedroom (on his box, on the chair, on the floor, on the bed). >Where does your cat sleep at night? Wherever they want to...... >For me, sometimes it varies. Sometimes its on the bed with me. Sometimes >she sleeps on the couch. She has access to the entire place, but sometimes >choose not to share body heat w/ me. Sometimes on the bed with me, on the chair in front of the TV, on the floor next to the heat register, on the sofa, on the rocker, on the desk next to the computer, on the floor in the hall. BTW, often the sleep next to me to get my body heat. -------------------------------------------- "It took us 15 years to McGyver this thing." -------------------------Carter on Stargate To send me e-mail exorcise NO Spam from my e-mail address. > >Where does your cat sleep at night? > Wherever they want to......

Pounce sleeps on the couch or the chair (preference shown for where a blanket has been left or a pillow laying flat). Jazz sleeps in the "house" of the cat tree or on the hamper in the bathroom. Blade sleeps in the crook of my arm with his head on my shoulder or "hugging" my foot (only for part of the night, usually about 2 or 3 he gets up and is "busy"). > Pounce sleeps on the couch or the chair (preference shown for where a > blanket has been left or a pillow laying flat). Hey..I named a foster kitty Pounce. Pounce de Lion to be exact. He was a cool looking guy...looked like a chocolate point. AG | Where does your cat sleep at night? On my pillow and gradually moving on when I move - in order to get the whole pillow for himself :-) Some time during the night Micky is active. I find the results of that in the mornings: Rug thrown down the stairs, stolen items like flowers, lighters or clothes' pegs hidden away somewhere. :-) (What a darling! My kids complain that the cat has more freedom than they have...) Carola > Where does your cat sleep at night? On my bed and my desk (on a special cushion) and on our couch and on the stereo and on the guest room bed and on the window ledge and on the floor in a patch of sunlight and in the basement if there's thunder and on my photocopier (on a special pad) and...well, you get the idea - anywhere they like. (We have two.) > | Where does your cat sleep at night? > > On my pillow and gradually moving on when I move - in order to get the whole > pillow for himself :-) That's what my Clarence likes to do too - an accomplished pillow thief :o) Blurbubble -- "The message is that there are no knowns.

They're both dark-furred, so this makes me the human filling in a kitty Oreo. > | Where does your cat sleep at night? > > On my pillow and gradually moving on when I move - in order to get the whole > pillow for himself :-) That's exactly what Artemis does! When he wakes me up for my 5:00 bath, I notice that I have about 2 square inches of pillow and he has the rest. :) He's just too damn cute to kick off though! > Where does your cat sleep at night? Pandora sleeps on the pillow, but she has to have a hand to lay on and lick when she feels like it. Occasionally she'll bunch herself up under the pillow and lean on my shoulder to lick my face. Persephone likes to be under the covers or on the covers, but almost always on the back of my knees so I can't move. Maddie (foster) sleeps on my chest or my back, just so long as it's absurdly close to my face. Peaches (foster) sleeps nearby, within arm's reach, but the only time she wants to be -on- me is if I'm awake enough to pet her. | > Where does your cat sleep at night? | [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] | Peaches (foster) sleeps nearby, within arm's reach, but the only time she | wants to be -on- me is if I'm awake enough to pet her. Erm...do you get any sleep at all, and what if you want to change your position? Or have you given up on that one? Carola > | > Where does your cat sleep at night? > | [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Carola If I need to change my position, I just grab the comforter and give it a good yank. That generally scatters them all just long enough for me to shift around and fall half-asleep again. ;p i have 9 cats & they all sleep in different places. right now i'm home alone at night, so some sleep in my daughters room, some on top of the washer or the dryer, there are chairs with pillows in front of the sliding glass door, pillows in front of the heaters, the couch, the recliner, the computer chair ... and some choose to sleep atop the clean laundry, or in the laundry basket filled with dirty laundry waiting to be washed. you name it ... they've slept there. barbara > Where does your cat sleep at night? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > My cat's job is to look pretty, smell good, sleep, eat, pee, & poop, in > that order. > Where does your cat sleep at night? > > For me, sometimes it varies.

Varies by season and their mood I guess. (2 Siamese/tabby males. 12 years old) a) Bed (more so in winter to share warmth and the feather comforter) b) Cat bed (just the right size for a "catball") c) Office chair in the 3rd bedroom (especially after it has been pre-warmed) d) In front of a heat duct in the living room - Kurt Sasha sleeps wherever she wants to. She is, after all; a cat. She typically starts out on the bed when I first go to bed. It's a good time for scritches since I am a captive audience. In the summer she will transfer to the tile in either the bathroom or entry. In the cooler parts of the year she may stay at the foot of the bed or may move to her hammock in the office. Where I find her in the morning depends on how early I get up. If I attempt to sleep in I invariably wake up to her on my chest, nose to nose... watching...waiting less than patiently for me to get up and serve. Good help is so hard to find :-) AG > Where does your cat sleep at night? > > For me, sometimes it varies. Sometimes its on the bed with me. Sometimes > she sleeps on the couch. She has access to the entire place, but sometimes > choose not to share body heat w/ me. > Where does your cat sleep at night? Depends on the time of day. Nightime scenerios: Shadow either sleeps on the couch in the living room (mostly) or on a chair in my room. Only jumps on the bed to wake me up. At 20lbs it means he only has to jump up to wake me. ;) Shamrock sleeps mosly on my bed trying to steal the pillows. Bonnie sleeps on my bed next to my legs. SignatureCheryl (sorry, had to remove the groups that aren't on my news server. New configuration for RCN and it SUCKS!!) I have two Siamese cats, a girl and a boy and they spend most of the day sleeping on the sette. When we go to bed though the boy will come and get into bed and she will sleep next to either mine of my my girlsfriends head on the pillows. They are very affectionate and dont like being left on their own. SLEEP????? Who has cats that sleep at night? That's when they always choose to be the most wound up of any other time! Seriously - they do sleep after winding down..........on the windowsill cat hammock with one eye open watching the flying squirrels in the bird feeder, on the bed with us and the 2 labradors part of the time and under our platform bed tho is the favorite place. -- Some in bed with us, some on their couch, some in the recliners, some in the kitty room in cat beds and others curled up in front of the wood stove. > SLEEP?????

When I am in it, she will sleep snuggled up next to me or in between my legs. If both Rob & I are in it, she will sleep either next to Rob, or in between us. If he is in the bed alone, she sleeps on my spot, or on my pillows. When she is alone, she will get into the bed and sleep in the covers, but only during the day, or in a storm. She has also taken to sleeping in the wardrobe lately. On hot nights, she will sleep on the floor next to our bed. rachel SignatureRachel Polanskis Kingswood, Greater Western Sydney, Australia grove@zeta.org.au http://www.zeta.org.au/~grove/grove.html "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security" - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 >Where does your cat sleep? Well she used to sleep downstairs in the diningroom on the rug. I think she was staying downstairs because she was stalking the back door and I think there's a mouse around somewhere and she was trying to catch it. Lately though as I'm putting up the tree and decorations she's lying right beneath it. It's kind of cute 'cause she looks like one of the gifts.......... Rose http://members.aol.com/Roseb44170/home.html "How did I ever get talked into this?" Our cat sleep's either on my pillow or at the foot of our bed. Kit ~Our cat sleep's either on my pillow or at the foot of our bed. ~Kit ~ Hi, I'm new to this group, but have been monitoring for some time. I'm the 'mommy' [since 4 wks old] of a male one-yr old Siamese mix, 12 lbs). Rex can open the sliding closet door. He goes into the closet behind my shoe rack, under the plastic thing you put sweaters in and sleeps there. Then about 4 in the a.m. he jumps up on my bed, puts his butt in my face to show he likes me, then turns around and puts his head on my chin and goes to sleep. He'll stay there for a half hour or so, or until I turn over [sometimes from lack of air due to a 12-lb weight on my chest!] Then he goes to the foot of the bed til morning. And he's NOT spoiled !!

Shirley B., #6 ASMS Lists Webmaster: http://jumi-shirley-butler.com http://www.geocities.com/mhc_reporter "Making a way out of no way is sometimes the only way" Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole Tigger likes to sleep as close to me as possible, which usually means wrapped around my neck or head. DD and Tigger I'm so glad we spoil our cat's.!!!! kit >Re: POLL: Where does your cat sleep?

If he stretches out he goes from my shoulder to my knee. He always wants to be on my right side so I have to roll his 20lbs. of dead weight over myself before I can get up. Sparkle also sleeps on my bed but usually just out of reach on a corner. She's petite with delicate features but she snores! If she's on the corner I can't reach her to make her quieten down. Smart cat. | Tiger sleeps anywhere on the bed he wants but usually right up next to | me. If he stretches out he goes from my shoulder to my knee.

My work colleagues think it's totally unhygienic to let pets into the bed. (They don't own pets of course.) But I like the warmth of the dog beside me - better than any hot water bottle, just the right temperature, doesn't go cold in the morning, doesn't leak ... LOL! And then the cat next to me fighting for pillow space ... what do you want more? Carola >I'm so glad you confess to this ...

(Two cats) Especially with it being so cold here. -------------------------------------------- "It took us 15 years to McGyver this thing." -------------------------Carter on Stargate To send me e-mail exorcise NO Spam from my e-mail address. |
