      Out of my 3 12 yr old rescues, my girl Etta sleeps with me every night, the 2 boys take shifts. Each night when I come to bed though, all 3 come in as if to say good night & get some pets ❤ to Buster, my elderly Mum (almost 85 & now bedridden) she is his person in a BIG way 🥺 he sits with her for every meal & every night he sleeps with her. James also will come in during the night & sleep with me.
      I'm so blessed with them. I rescued them at the absolute worst time in my life & in turn they saved it. ❤

      Sometimes. I have 2 cats, they heat-mooch the bed. They come and go at their mood. One loves to sleep on top of the armoire (on his pillow)so he can see the room. They like an early breakfast so they like to make sure I’m up to feed them at 0400!

    At age 72 and after 3 kids and a 40-year marriage I found myself divorced. I moved 2000 miles away and bought a 36' camper to live in but I was a bit lonely. I adopted 2 3-month old feral kittens which I named Nadine and Shariff. They hid in the closet at first and wouldn't come near me. After a few weeks they started jumping up on my lap. Now, a month later they sleep with me at night. I must bust out laughing 10 times a day at their antics. They are bringing me so much joy and I don't feel at all lonely anymore.

    I rescued my cat after she was abandoned in a shopping center parking lot in the evening. She held onto my arm with her head pressed into my bicep every night for many years. She still sleeps beside me but usually reaches out with a paw to make contact to make sure I am there. I saw a show on big cats in Africa and lions do pretty much the same thing.

    Shelby has to sleep right next to my head on the same pillow every night. At bed time, I use a fairly long pillow, and lay my head down on the one side of it. Then Shelby climbs up onto the other side, and starts purring like a little motorcycle for like 20 minutes. There’s no better way to fall asleep than to the sound and feel of a cats pur as you drift away into sleep.

    My sister adopted a cat for herself but somehow the cat became very attached to me. She would follow me everywhere, lay on me every chance she got, meow loudly if I closed my door without letting her in. Eventually I became like the sole caretaker of her and my sister basically gave her to me and now shes my cat and sleeps on top of me every night and is within like 5 feet of me at all times lol when I move away shes coming with me. I’m not sure why she took to me so strongly because I wasn’t the one who saved her from the shelter or even took care of her for the first few months after she was adopted but she became so attached to me that my sister just let me have her. Six years later shes still my bestie and I would die for her :)

    I have 2 tabby brothers. They're one year in a half. When babies, the two slept with me all night. Now only one sleeps with us. But in the morning both of them are asleep with me and when I just go take a nap. They're both asleep with me, and when I'm watching TV, the one who sleeps with me is sleeping next to me.Later, the other one comes to lay by me. My babies are so spoiled with me. The young one is the one who's sleeps with me. But they're always around me where I'm at. They are just following me. They know when treat time and dinner time is, let me know what time it is. I LOVE❤ my babies so much, my spoiled BRATS.❤❤❤❤🐈🐈

      I got my babies used to being moved when they were sleeping (usually to swaddle them or to scoot them over) so when they slept with me on the bed, I just moved them into the crook of my arm under the covers and they never looked back. Now they know they can just burrow in next to me when they are sleepy (which somehow happens to be exactly when I am).

      I have a similar situation. It's daft but I don't want to upset the cat (usually Jasper) who is snuggled right next to me (he's a mummy's boy) by moving either myself or the cat. Consequently I end up with back ache and a bad night's sleep as I want to turn over but daren't.
      I end up at the edge of the bed with Jasper next to me and Otto at the end in the way of my feet. Morag, Jasper's sister will be on a blanket in the wardrobe or in a basket on top of the wardrobe.
      It's funny how we can make ourselves really uncomfortable with no bed space, where the cat/s have managed to commandeer a nice bit of prime bed space.

    My babies are Siberian and we are all hot sleepers. They sleep with me, but very seldom , on me. I do go to a special place to meditate (out of the house) and I take my cat Sunshine. He stays next to me during, but as I come back he often sits on my chest looking down at me. Then we have a love fest rubbing our cheeks. After 6 decades of allergies it’s so wonderful to not get sick.

    I rescued an approx. one to two-year-old cat, that was found abandoned and pregnant (probably dumped shortly after it was born). I've had her 6 months now, she's been sleeping with me every single night since day one and is the sweetest. We're inseparable. She never gets angry, never brakes anything, never climbs on anything other than the bed and couch, never scratches a furniture other than her tree, she never scratches me accidentally or on purpose, even while playing, she never bites, never begs for food and loves belly rubs... She's absolutely purrfect! She follows me everywhere. We even take walks together, she follows me like a dog without a leach, it's so amazing! I know I'm very lucky to have such an incredible cat.

      Years ago[I] had a cat from _somewhere_ in the neighborhood begin showing up with regularity on my property ; repeatedly approaching the door with the intent on being permitted passage etc. ..finally, I relented and let it in. It was clear from the outset that this creature was *not* a stray, belonged to someone and was a household pet. The animal was by all outward appearances very healthy i.e., nutritional needs were being more than adequately met, it was well-groomed, and just overall looked to be in great shape. While I was careful not to feed it, .. _food_ that is, _not even a morsel_ (didn't wish to lure it away or alienate it from its owner nor could I afford, at that juncture in my life to take on the duties and responsibilities associated with ownership ), on the other hand, I was more than generous in the doling out of affection . Pretty soon this scene developed into a fairly predictable routine whereby this cat was paying nearly daily visits to my abode for reliable doses of comforting pets, hugs, scratches, etc. without the expectation of reward arriving in any other form
      It looked to me and others( a sibling and 2 friends who frequently stopped by ) in other words, we were in unanimous agreement in our observations that the cat was lacking in only one respect ..it was literally starving for the only kind of attention its primary care provider(s) was/were failing to deliver and that was interaction of a physical nature, loving play and closeness of the tactile variety
      Who knows what was going on in the alternate household during this time-frame.. perhaps it had once been populated by a figure or figures who had, not only possessed the desire but, also the time to devote to this now ''emotionally'' neglected or deprived member of the family ...it could be a suddenly solitary ''empty-nester''; adult children having flown the coop, who hasn't the inclination and/or wherewithal to relate to the animal on this level nevertheless feels obligated to continue providing for its basic needs
      Again , what did seem certain is that this cat headed out on a mission in search of the sort of nourishment that wasn't to be found in a trough or at the bottom of feeding bowl. Needless to say, the cat wasn't the only beneficiary, I had the best of both worlds..didn't have to lift a finger in service of the mundane chores that one would normally be called upon to perform, didn't have to spend a penny in sustenance outlay, instead I reaped only the rewards: companionship and stress reduction

      My sister had a cat that didn't like it when the house was too crowded. Two kids, 3 other cats and a very active dog were in the house as well. The cat chose a house one street away were they were no other pets, nor kids. My sister was flabbergasted to see the cat sitting there in the window with a little bell on their collar, something it always got rid of when she put it on. The person who lived there said they knew it was not a stray cat, but that it continued to try and get attention from them and get in their house. They had turned the cat outside again and again and it was persistently getting back into their house. Both humans accepted the cats decision eventually. Though my sister was somewhat miffed the cat chose to live somewhere else, she could understand it. The cat had decided. 😊

He starts purring and within a few minutes, he off to dreamland. Samson visits me 3-4 times a night and lets me rub his soft belly and head. Love them both.

    Six cats and a Boston Terrier. They tolerate each other only because of their shared human. They space each other within eyesight, often switching sleeping spots during the night, a kind of musical cats, except for one who dominates the foot end of the bed, even displacing the dog who is well aware that cats have claws. Nice of them to not tromp on my face until I'm aware, then the parade starts. Oh, the joy of kitty-ville! I put out heating pads in places they sleep, and for some reason, they avoid them unless it's really cold. No body wants to sleep under the blankets.

    My cat sleeps mostly with me, than my girl and I think that’s because when she’s sleep she doesn’t think about where he is when she turns over at night like I do! But my cat always wants to be with her when she’s moving around, especially when she’s cooking or folding clothes! He also meows at her when she opens up can goods, but I think that’s because his spoiled butt thinks it’s his wet food lol! We love him to death and show him all the time how much he means to us! And he reciprocates with rubbings, grooming and slow eye closes, and we have little fights to keep his hunting skills sharp!

    My lifelong friend and I both came to crossroads in our lives, mid-40’s. I moved to her state and we rented a house together. Her 7 year old female cat was instantly drawn to me. She was always a very timid cat even as a kitten. Now three years later, she’s my cat. I didn’t do anything to draw her to me, just treated her the way I’ve always treated cats throughout life. I love her so much ❤ She’s attached to my hip (my bestie isn’t mad) 😊

    My female eventually comes to walk back and forth between my husband before finally settling down at the end of the bed or occasionally going back out to the living room with our male cat. Our male cat occasionally sleeps in the room with us but rarely on the bed more often he sleeps on the floor on top of my husband’s dirty clothes.

    When I was a young teenager my Cat Chaca Chan used to push my head off my pillow every night and sleep on it. I went to school with a sore neck too many times so I bought another pillow. He did the same thing so I would lay down with one of the pillows and give it to him right before I went to sleep. I used the other cold pillow for myself and all was Fine. He was the BEST CAT in the Whole universe. I still Miss him 50 years later. The End

    I have 2 cats at the moment, and they both want to sleep with me most of the time, especially when it’s cold. But when it’s hot I don’t like it near as much, but they do, so I usually have to put them a little bit away from me where I can still pet or scratch them for a while. I don’t know why but they usually accept that and don’t try to get too close after I go to sleep. But I just love having them near me when I’m going to sleep. They like to help me when I’m using my laptop, and that doesn’t go over very well!

    Mine rotates his sleeping habits. Sometimes he's exclusive to a bench on my screened porch, sometimes he sleeps on a chair in the living room, sometimes he sleeps on a box in my bedroom, and sometimes he sleeps on my bed. Whatever his preference is, it usually remains that way for a week to a month and then he changes it again.

    Not only does my cat sleep with me, he spends every second with me. And if I sit in a different spot than usual he will not stop crying until I go back to my regular chair so he can cuddle up with me.
    I used to be a dog person before I got this cat because I thought cats could not be loving and loyal. I have owned plenty of dogs and known people with the sweetest most loyal dogs you can imagine and none of them compare to my Poser

But how do such little things take up so much room when they want to?? lol

    My oldest cat is 11. He likes snuggles, uppies, and laps. But when it's sleepy time, he HAS to sleep with my ankles.
    I also have a young rascal who was feral born and abandoned at a job site. He is not a cuddly Boi. He likes to sleep in my chair. If I'm in the chair, he might claim my lap. Sometimes he licks my face. Sometimes he tolerates loves. But oooooh boy he loves play time. And it's always play time. He's almost 2 years.
