Most cat lovers allow their cherished pets to sleep on the bed, and I am afraid that I am no exception- mine sleeps with me every night. It’s a good job that I am currently single, as I don’t think she’s tolerate a partner in there and I may be faced with a tough choice!
We have our routine. She will lie at the foot of the chair whilst I am working on my computer. When I make a move to get ready for bed, she follows me into the kitchen for supper. I go upstairs, and she will follow me when she is ready. I use the bathroom and she uses her litter tray; we often synchronise our eliminations!
I snuggle into bed, and after a few minutes wait, she will jump onto the bed and walk up and down, demanding fuss and purring her pleasure. After a few minutes of this, she will settle down, usually in the middle of the bed, and preferably touching the bulge that is my body beneath the duvet. After several more minutes, she will curl up and go to sleep properly.
She will usually sleep until I wake the next morning, but has been known to wake me at 5am if she decides that it’s breakfast time. I have also woken up to find her curled up on top of me- luckily I don’t move much during the night!
She may have condemned me to a life of permanent spinster hood, but I wouldn’t have her any other way!
