Two of my cats sleep with me each night (usually waiting until I'm finally managing to doze off before miaowing loudly in my ear to demand a bit of fuss). Given that I've only got a 'small single' bed (2'6" wide, instead of the usual 3' for a single) and that they like to sleep with one on either side of me, that doesn't leave me a lot of room!
Lol Chris, I've got a king size all to myself and even then I'd wake to find myself balancing on the edge when Tigger and Blue were stretched out on it!
Many years ago I had a massive black cat. (The neighbours referred to him as my panther). I'd often head up to bed, only to find him stretched out across the middle of it, with his front paws hanging off one side and his rear paws hanging off the other. I'd never try to move him. I simply slept on the floor on those occasions ;-)
Oh gosh, I miss that so much. Toby leaves the bed when I come up...he *might* get on the bed when desperate for attention like this morning but not cuddles.
I miss it so much it hurts sometimes. :(
Funny one of my Brothers cats who always ran away when even looking at me was asleep next to me in their bed when I awoke it was only day two. By the end of the fortnight+ I was tiltering on the edge of their king size bed making room for their four cats.
David: No need to knock. Cats just walk into my house. I've only ever actively sought to get myself a cat on one occasion. All the others have just turned up and moved in, with the exception of my current three, who were born here to a mother who'd simply turned up here one day.
