Cat Forum / General Topics / July 2006My cat stands on me when I sleep.
When I go to sleep, sometimes I'll wake up and my cat will be standing over me. If I sleep on my side, she stands on my arm. If I sleep on my back, she'll be on my chest. Kind of like "standing guard". I don't know why she would do this. I've had her for almost a week now. (she's 8 weeks old). Does this happen to anyone else? It's not a problem at all, I kind of take it as a compliment. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. Could this be a problem, or could she be trying to tell me something? I don't know. Thanks a lot!!!!!! : When I go to sleep, sometimes I'll wake up and my cat will be standing over : me. If I sleep on my side, she stands on my arm.

When my cat finds me lying down, she jumps up and walks on me towards my face until our faces are about 6" apart, as if to say hello for 1-2 minutes. Then she turns around, walks back and lies down on my legs. This is also when she feels safes and sleeps most soundly. It is heartwarming. The only problem is when I have to get up for some reason. I have learned to arrange my phones around me, so it is just my bathroom visits that annoy her. :) >Take it as a compliment because it is!

More to the point the cat is saying enough sleeping, time to get up and feed me. The cat is also saying that even though it sleeps 18 hours you've slept enough and need to get up now and the feed the cat. Cats are really good at doing this espeically at 4 in the morning. >Then she turns around, >walks back and lies down on my legs.

I agree. I _LOVE_ it when Zeitgeist decides it's time for us to wake up and starts to meow constantly until I get up too, regardless of how many times I put the pillow over my head. >More to the point the cat is saying enough sleeping, time to get up >and feed me.

I have one that will start chewing on my hand and the longer it takes her to get me up the harder she bites!! http://members.aol.com/larrystark/ >When I go to sleep, sometimes I'll wake up and my cat will be standing over >me.

Mine sometimes comes and sleeps on my chest when I'm sleeping. The best part is when I'm sleeping and he jumps up on the bed, slaps me in the face with his paw and runs off. It gets really fun after the third or forth time in an hour he does this; although it usually gets him banished from the bedroom for the rest of the night. || When I go to sleep, sometimes I'll wake up and my cat will be || standing over me.

In the morning he gets agitate and if standing on me does not get me up he will the make a noise and climb on to the dressing table and start to knock things over. My alarm clock has to be kept on the floor and another trick is to jump on my head off the headboard. My other cat is the complete opposite. >When I go to sleep, sometimes I'll wake up and my cat will be standing over >me. If I sleep on my side, she stands on my arm.

When my two year old male decides it's time for me to wake up he vigorously licks my forehead. I can stand it about a minute before his raspy tongue will actually break the skin. If I turn over he just continues from the other side. If I shout loudly to stop he'll stop and then resume when he thinks I'm asleep. I can't win! > When I go to sleep, sometimes I'll wake up and my cat will be standing > over [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > know. > Thanks a lot!!!!!! I also take it as a compliment. My cats don't just stand on me (as you described), but both will walk back and forth on me, often do some kneading, and then lie down. I sometimes wake up and find a cat sound asleep on top of me -- and the cat managed to do that without my even being aware of it.

Mine kneads too a few times a day, about 1-2 minute each time, both when I am sitting and lying. I have been wondering what that is about. || MaryL <stancole1@yahoo.comTAKE-OUT-THE-LITTER> wrote: || [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] || when I am sitting and lying.

Please be careful when you snip messages not to snip the name of the person sending the post. In this case, you included one paragraph from me and one paragraph from Kiran -- so it looks like the entire message was mine. (No harm done because these were pretty "routine" messages...but there have been some flame wars when it would be a lot better to have the correct names attached.) Of course, my request can get a bit hard to follow in some of those very long threads when there are numerous names mixed at the top of the message!!

Here is the entirety of the referenced posting as received by me.... ================================================== Subject: Re: My cat stands on me when I sleep.

I'm befuddled as to where there is any confusion regarding attribution.  SignatureJames Leo Ryan ..... Austin, Texas ..... taliesinsoft@mac.com >> Please be careful when you snip messages not to snip the name of the >> person [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] > as > to where there is any confusion regarding attribution. The confusion is that I did *not* post the following: "Mine kneads too a few times a day, about 1-2 minute each time, both when I am sitting and lying. I have been wondering what that is about." That was actually posted by Kiran, but only my name was left in the attribution. Only the first paragraph was mine. As I said, it's not a big deal in this case. MaryL >>> Please be careful when you snip messages not to snip the name of the >>> person [quoted text clipped - 50 lines] > > MaryL Incidentally, you *did* read the attribution correctly, so apparently I am reading it differently. I think the primary difference is that my e-mail was included, while Kiran's was not.

He weights about 12 lbs and at first he will walk across the bed. Then he "accidently" steps on me while doing it. Then, if I don't get up, he will sometime lay down on me. One time I was sleeping on my back, woke up, and his face was about 6" away from my face. Scared the crap out of me! |
