Look….it goes without saying that where and when it is practical to do so, we should/could sleep with our pet but the cat or dog usually decides. That is my impression. You can’t carry your cat to you bed and plonk her on it hoping she’ll stay for hours. She might but she might not; she decides.
What does your spouse think about it? That is the big one. Does your human companion agree that your non-human companion can sleep with you in bed?
It’s lovely to share the bed with warm, purring cats, and I love it when Walter climbs in under the covers and puts his head on the pillow opposite mine, sometimes nights are long and it’s such a comfort to have company. I’ve been blessed with double company lately when Jo has joined us, sometimes Walter isn’t suited if he pinches his favourite place on the bed but we muddle along. When John was alive he too was happy to share our bed with any cats who wished to join us and of course his beloved Popsy always slept as near to him as possible. Cats are cleaner than some people, I see no problems with sharing.
Exactly ruth cats are the best kind, wouldnt want it any other way. I mean its nice having someone special, but if they want me they got to accept my cats as well. 🙂
Well im prob not the best example. If the need ever happened. would just put the cat out the door, for a little while, and bring the cat or cats later on. Though i remember Cassy she always liked to be there at the same time. I guess for me its important to be with a cat person as then feel very accepted. 🙂
Not having a spouse I don’t have that problem lol and I love it when Jozef sleeps on my bed, especially if he comes under the duvet for a while, a purring bundle of soft fur. Lately for some reason he starts off on my bed but I wake up often in the wee small hours and he’s gone to join Babz and Walter. I wonder if it’s because I rarely read in bed now, too tired, but Babz always does or she can’t get to sleep.
Anyway I think there’s nothing nicer than having the company of a much loved pet to sleep with.
I guess the answer is to live with a cat person and forget about love making 😉
Well all our cats sleep on the bed or under blankets. Yes absolutely they are part of our life & its not a problem. When I was with my ex, it wasn’t a problem either as we both Cat People. They love cat cuddles & kisses, Cassy loved to sleep with Rob alot, now Tiger gets those special cuddles. Wouldn’t have it any other way. I got two Oval Beds with wool that, they all love might have to get another two.
