As a bit of fun, i'm going to create a poll to see if anybody else does the same
awww mine are really great actually, Ruby's bed is next to me (cat igloo which she's trod down to make a bed), ie where the second pillow would be and she sleeps there happily next to me. Elphie will always work around me and curl up somewhere near my feet. Love my sleepy furblobs
Sometimes I think they can't wait until we go out to work, so they can get some decent kip!
The only disturbed night that I can recall is during the first big freeze when one of the dogs was really agitated and would not settle. He was trying to tell me that glass bottles in the garage were exploding, but I could not hear them and did not discover them until the day after. Fortunately the water was still frozen but lids had flown off and glass shattered!
Haha that sounds like me. My cat gives me a row if I dare sneeze or cough. She'll storm out the room meowing and I'm apologising trying to get her back. She always forgives me in the end though.
Each time I have got a new cat, they always seem to like to sleep at the foot of the bed at first, only coming further up, sometimes years later. I think it's an act of showing that they consider themselves as beneath us in the hierarchy of the cat "social group".
It's lovely isn't it.
Ahhh, so the dog was probably worried that there was an intruder on the territory.
Can I ask why you had bottles of water in the garage
Some of my cats (including one of my present ones) like to sleep on top of me during the night. I wonder, as they view us as their mother, it's because that's was their particular spot where they settled down for the night on their real mother (if cats actually do that, I know they each have their own nipple to suckle on).
Sometimes she'll lie on my chest to get clapped but she drools really badly when she purrs so that's not very pleasant.
The kitten is still at that bonkers stage so she gets shut in the living room/kitchen at night because she jumps on Lola's head and they start chasing each other.
My cats are welcome to sleep on my bed but they fit around me, its my bed :eek:
When I stay at a girlfriend's house her 2 bulldogs try o tshare my spot in the bed and they get short shrift as well, you have no idea how icy the bed can get with 2 people in it, when you kick someones dogs off the bed
OH stays up a little later than I do and Amber comes to bed with me without fail every single night. We have 10 minutes of grooming (her frantically licking and nudging my hands and me stroking her) then she settles as close to me as she can get....
I have to get up to wash my hands so she then goes to the bottom of the bed but it's lovely to have that time
She usually snuggles up to me after I am asleep hence OH feeling like a spare part
Lol my dogs are the same. And Tillie won't get on the bed in the dark after she's been out for a wee either, she puts her feet up for me to lift her up.
It's good to have some fun with a cat
Animal behaviour experts have actually concluded that cats do have a sense of humour.
I often have to worm my way out of bed, mainly because I don't want the cat to jump off the bed
I've never heard of a dog flap before, is it safe? I mean if a dog can come in, could a human intrude into your home in this way?
Clapped
Yes! I've often used a cat as a pillow! During the day I tell one that she is a cushion with a head and we have a sleep on the sofa.
I remember as a child coming home from school on a freezing cold day. I went straight to the living room to lay in front of the fire, only to find the dog there. I moved the dog further back and laid in it's former place to get warm.
The dog barked and growled until I moved and then laid back where it was.
It had worked out what I had done in it's mind and sought to remedy matters!!!!!
I was recently reading about when/why cats lick themselves clean.
Apparently, they do it last thing at night before going to sleep in order to remove any remnants of food/scent so that it won't attract predators before they go to sleep when they are vulnerable.
