Where do you normally find your pet sleeping and have you caught them in any odd places?
I have found Sparky on a couple of occasions sleeping on top of my pc tower whilst it's on
Also i've seen him sleeping in a draw too lol.

..Cat will sleep anywhere that's dark and hidden away, he is very anti-social.

At night Lola sleeps on top of my wardrobe inside one of those blue ikea bags. I've also found her snoozing during the day inside my washing basket.

At night Dave either sleeps on the bed next to me, or under it. During the day, he likes to snooze on top of my 8 foot bookcase

Gawd love em

We changed our cats litter tray earlier. It's one of the hooded ones and she wandered in and curled up

Normally she and her brother sleep either in the window or on the bed. Much more normal!

I have storage baskets on top of the wardrobe, cat loves to sleep there (where he always snores, knowing I can't get to him but never snores elsewhere) , sometimes he's on the sofa , sometimes in the spare room and occasionally on my bed -strangely never sleeps in the TWO comfy beds I bought him.

Outside, it's napping on the decking or the lawn.

Inside, it's one of two places: Up a cat tree next to my my desk (he's there now) or on my lap / between my legs on the recliner, if I'm in the lounge watching TV.

He visits the bedroom a few times a night, but prefers his cat tree in the home office.

He has a desperate, burning need to get into the spare bedroom at every opportunity, but I try to reserve that "cat free" for visitors, much to his annoyance. But if ever he gets in there, he's there for the day!

Usually 'his' sofa...I have 2 sofas in an L shape, one I use, the other , he claimed as soon as I got them and it's now HIS..make no mistake , the glare he gives friends and family visitors when they sit on it is priceless

Occasionally the floor by the living room window and the end of my bed if I'm asleep in it.

My old pug can be found sleeping anywhere she shouldn't be. She particularly likes suitcases and on top of the coffee table. But if i'm at home, she's by my side at all times so beside me on the sofa or in my bed. My young pug is quite clingy so she likes to be on top of me even when sleeping. If I don't allow her she'll snuggle up to the other wherever she is.

The dog's been sleeping under the duvet since he was a pup. Don't understand how he can breathe in there! The cat sleeps on top of the covers.

My cats like to sleep on top of the wardrobe in a small laundry basket I keep on top of there. They also sometimes sleep on the top of the chest of drawers. They often sleep in their cat beds though.

Dog sleeps at the side of the bed on the floor next to hubby but if she gets stiff she gets up and gets on her bed in the study. Cat sleeps on the bed, at least she is on it when we go to sleep but in the mornings we sometimes find her either in her own bed next to the dogs bed, or on my chair in another bedroom, in the linen basket or on the showermat. Nowhere is out of bounds as far as she is concerned.

Usually anywhere and everywhere they find comfortable. But our youngest cat can't resist cardboard boxes. The minute a box is emptied he's straight in there and lies down, even if the box is too small for him and he's hanging out over the side. Looks very uncomfortable, but for some reason he loves doing that, always looks triumphant as if to say 'I did it!'.

The neighbour's cat always wants to sleep in our hot press, so I assume he must be allowed to do that at home but I dont allow it here. Still, like our own cats he has the rest of the house to sleep in so he's spoiled for choice. We used to have a cat that slept on the mantelpiece, I was always worried he'd fall into the fire, even though my husband pointed out that if he fell he'd land on the hearth, the angle made it impossible for him to end up in the fire. Still worried me though.

One cat sleeps in a little brick planter my neighbour made in the shared part of our garden but he now doesn't bother to put flowers in, anymore, as it catches the sun just right in the morning so my elderly cat sleeps in it...

She also prefers sleeping on his lawn to mine. Maybe because he remembers to cut his grass.

My newly acquired cat sleeps in the daytime on our shed roof. This gives him a vantage point into our kitchen but he can also keep an eye on his old garden (neighbour moved house leaving him behind), presumably in case his old owner comes home...

The week she abandoned him, coupla weeks ago, we found he was living behind an old fridge freezer in her outhouse. So the fact he is sleeping on our side of the wall now, is good. In the afternoons, he comes in and sleeps in my cupboard under the stairs. We are going to clear it out to put a basket in for him. And in the evening, he sleeps on my kitchen table which is a bit gross but he seems to feel happier if he has some height, so I don't want to move him (just keep using antibacterial wipes on the table and have stopped preparing food on it!)

We found another of the ex neighbour;s dumped kitties is living in our outhouse where we keep our bikes. I have a bale of hay in there and she has been sleeping on that.

I have been leaving dried food out for her cos she looks like a crap mouser and I can't see her starve. She is not my cat though.

My old dog is snoring next to me on the sofa now. Sometimes she sleeps on my bed in the daytime but never goes upstairs at night. She had a basket but prefers to use sofas and although elderly, can still at the moment jump up onto it, so we let her.

My cat has various secret sleeping places in the house. Hard to keep up with her.

when mine is a bit bored with the cat beds located around the house, she'll go for my leather recliner just when I've walked across the room to get something and nips in before I can get back. Then she has the nerve to grumble when I move her. As it's hot weather at the moment, she loves rolling around the decking outside but after a while she gets too hot and I often find her in my wardrobe where it's nice a cool and dark.

Exactly. Anywhere we have been sitting but you can bet your bottom dollar you will never find the cat in any of the cat beds you buy. I have the same problem. I have tried buying fancy furry ones but nope, on top of the pillow in the spare bedroom just now. Typical as he's black and the pillow case is pink

Guesses:
1. Your wardrobe has a cat flap
2. You have a walk-in wardrobe
3. You leave the wardrobe door open

Hmm. Can't think of any more...

Oh yes:
4. The cat has worked out how to open the door.
