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?
Any way they want it, that’s the way it is.
Sometimes, my bed is packed and quiet; sometimes, there’s only a few and it’s a party.
I never had a problem with my 2 husbands or any bedmate.
Loving animals is a requirement for having anything to do with me. No compromises.
Getting better all the time. Monty is doing well also. We are much more comfortable today as the weather cooled off. Yesterday I found a tick on me after bringing Monty in! I have been checking him thoroughly with my hands and with the flea comb and he remains tick and flea free. The tick had to come from our yard though, since it was in my hair, but not yet burrowed into my scalp. My vet would say Monty should be given medication to repel fleas and ticks, but I just don’t want that risk. After what happened to me recently I don’t exactly like medications anymore. And to treat a problem that right now does not even exist seems silly to me and a waste of money.
I love the way you employ all kinds of ways to accommodate Monty. Cat-centric home. Hope you are well Ruth.
Monty isn’t much for sleeping on our bed, but he’s done it once in awhile. He prefers to sleep in his own room in his little tent bed or under our bed in what I call “the blanket tunnel” where there is a little overhang of our waterbed and the blankets hang down there off the bed a little bit. I put a long pillow under there for him. Last night he spent some of the night in the basement and after it got cooler he came up and slept in his own room. He came out of there stretching and yawning a few minutes after I got up. It’s been hot here and we are trying not to use the AC if we don’t have to, so yesterday Monty and I were both uncomfortable. I think the heat was hard on him too, even though we spent quite a bit of time together in the basement. Monty is much more likely to come sleep under the covers with us when it is cold. Especially when it gets hot so that he sheds and then suddenly gets freezing cold again just as his winter coat is gone. This happens frequently in Wisconsin. I like it because Monty snuggles up for warmth.
I wouldn’t have it any other way!! <3
It upsets me when some, people say cats are so dirty which i disagree with. They are the most cleanest as possible, they are forever washing themselves. I dont mind,where the cats are or where they sleep just as long as they comfortable and know they are loved.
