Just about every night when Kohl wants to sleep on my chest or by my legs so I don't move all night!

My cats were never really allowed upstairs during the night. But in the last 6months my dad and i have allowed them, but it's only 1 of them that wants in my room. Shelly!! And boy she can annoy me, she wil climb all over my pillow and stamp on my head and eventually settles at side of my pillow half on my duvet. so if i move around the duvet will move, ergo cat will move about, so i lay as still as i can trying not to disturb Shelly.
But after several nights of this i wanted my bed back so now they can come upstairs but i won't let her in my bedroom whilst sleeping.

Every morning OH lets my little puggy out of the kitchen where she sleep and she races into bedroom to get into bed beside me. I always have to pee but stay put for as long as possible because I love it when shes all peaceful and curled up snoring beside me

When my little Eric had his op he was really poorly afterwards, when we bought him home the vet told us if he made it through the night he'd be o.k....What a long night that was, he settled on my hubby's chest and there he stayed, we didn't have the heart to move him and leave him alone just in case the worse happened. He survived and is now almost 6 months and is turning into a real bruiser!

Yep - especially if I need to cough. I practically suffocate myself before finally coughing and instantly apologising!
Sometimes I think they can't wait until we go out to work, so they can get some decent kip! |

No - had dogs all my adult life and they have never been allowed into the bedrooms, or upstairs for that matter. Don't need a gate to stop them either lol.
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! |

Oh yes. Lola my dog insists on literally curling up round my head on my pillow. Many nights I've had no room to put my head and been uncomfortable with her bum shoved in my face lol

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 when I bend my knees she sleeps on the point which is quite funny. I sometimes move my knees from side to side gently and her head wobbles as she tries to balance. It makes her look like one of those nodding cats. I still find it very funny.

My dogs; Bailey curls into the crook of my legs under the duvet and Tilly lays down the other side of me stretched out under or over the duvet. The problem is getting up in the night for a wee because neither of them will move so I have to worm my way out the top and slither my way back in causing as little disturbance as possible. Also Bailey will not jump on the bed in the dark he gets up for a wee (dog flap) and then comes back and whines at the side of the bed until I lift him up. What gets me though is why I keep puting myself out for them both.

Yep! Lola usually lies at the bottom of the bed on the empty side but when she decides she wants a cuddle I haven't the heart to move her. For some reason she curled up against my back the other night, not on the empty side of the bed but between me and the edge. I woke up in the morning sandwiched between the cat on one side and both kids who'd got up at some point in the night and came through to my bed.
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. Or she bites my nose for attention.

my cat regularly sleeps on my pillow and many a times Ive been moved to the edge of the pillow or bed to accomodate him and where he wants to sleep. Mind you once he was spralled all over my pillow and me being half asleep just put my head on his belly and fell asleep-he didnt mind though!

Dear God!
I bow to no man ( or woman
) in the love I have for my 3 cats or indeed animals in general but if I want the spot on the sofa that a cat or dog or whatever is curled up in then I take that spot.My cats are welcome to sleep on my bed but they fit around me, its my bed ![]() 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

Over the years OH has spent a few nights on the sofa as Amber and I have been so snuggled up in bed he didn't want to disturb us
![]() 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

![]() 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? Quote:

My husband always complains of an interrupted nights sleep because Sookie likes to sleep on his feet and by the morning shes stretched right out and hubby is left sleeping on a slither of the bed!! She's also got a habit of walking up his body when hes asleep and flopping down under his arm - he's such a light sleeper and she always wakes him up! She doesn't sleep next to me, I snore too much so I think it probably scares her off!!
