    My house is owned by the bank, I make the payments but my cat runs the place. She sleeps on my bed, daytime naps and at night. At night she likes to sleep touching the back of my legs. She'll stay there practically all night. Makes me hesitate to bother her to go pee.
    As if she has an alarm clock, she's up at 5:30 and makes sure she wakes me to go get her breakfast. Oh well, God lover her.

    My cat sleeps pretty much anywhere she wants. Her favorite places are her cat tree in front of the window, the couch, a nice cushy chair, and her carrier. I leave her carrier out because I want her to view it as a safe place and not as something scary that only appears when it's time to go to the vet. At night, she sleeps in my bed, pressed up against my back.

    My cat, during the day, will sleep either on the sofa, a blanket I put on a small table next to the sofa, the cushioned section at the top of his cat tree (near my work desk), or a box in which I put brown wrapping paper (lots of layers for that crinkly sound), all in the living room. At night, he seems to prefer sleeping on the body pillow on my bed. I leave one side of the body pillow free from a bed pillow, so he can access it easily. He only uses this spot at night.

    When I was an IT tech, often I was on the road a lot. So my cats did whatever they wanted. But now I am sort of semi retired, thus home all day.
    My current cat must be in 7th heaven, figuratively I mean. Since I live in an apartment, but I love loud action movies? I've finally gotten some excellent headphones and thus can enjoy all the loud explosions in Dolby Atmos, while my cat can live/sleep contentedly in peace and quiet right next to me! Even built him a nice, cozy and warm setup next to me on the couch. At night? EVERY NIGHT, first thing he does is plops down *heavily* on my feet in bed. PLOP, SLAM! He weighs around 20lbs, cause he is a large cat! Feels like a WWE wrestler slamming down on me from the ropes! And often when I wake up? He's laying right along side my face! I absolutely LOVE waking up seeing him there! And when I wake, he turns his head, looks to see I'm OK, then turns back around and more ZZZzzzz time! Absolutely the best way to wake up!

    My 14 yr old kitty has always slept in the bed with me. She sleeps right up against my shoulder cuddled up purring away, which is lovely. I also share my bed with a 1 yr Yorkie and 4 yr old Maltese.that lay near the foot of the bed on their own blanket, My other cat sleeps in his Kitty Cave bed that's in my room, sometimes in the laundry basket. He doesn't want to sleep with the dogs on the bed, which turns out great because he used to claw my legs up all then time when I was asleep. He would suckle the blanket and knead all the time and inadvertently scratch me. He now has his own kitty blanket in his kitty cave and it's working out great.

    We have two boys, Oscar the Old Boy boy and Baby the... Oscar sleeps a LOT as we seniors do. He has a cat tree with a “crows nest” at the top (2m/6feet) and can’t quite fit in it, causing me to worry that he will fall out one day. It appears he has spent the night up there on some occasions, but then he discovered our bed. He goes up there after breakfast and snoozes till it’s time for his evening meal. He will then curl up in the sofa next to me for a but of stroking and brushing including a belly rub, then go up around 8pm. At EXACTLY 21.25 he will come down again into the lounge and sit and stare at me as if to say “are you coming to bed or not???” My wife is only 4’10” tall and Oscar immediately realised that there was a nice empty Oscar sized space below her feet. He spends some of the night there but is gone by the time we wake up. Baby is on the go most of the day but he will go up at the same time as Oscar, sometimes before, and generally spreads himself out below our pillows till we come up. Then he often jumps off and curls up just outside the bedroom door. He likes to come and check we are still alive at around 04.30 by walking all over me. He will often try to settle alongside me on the edge of the bed where I worry he will fall off. He never has.The pair will often start running around an hour or two before we intend to wake up. We also have a couple of soft fabric cat caves that Oscar takes a nap in, and a couple of cardboard boxes where Baby will nap occasionally.

    My cat at night usually hangs with me in my bed and also sleeps there whenever I'm not around. She just sleeps nearby to a soft chair instead of a cat bed overlooking me while I sleep. She doesn't sleep next to me since I assume because I snore. She does sleep right next to me only if there is a thunderstorm to which she goes under my blanket or anything that scarce her, despite my snoring she will tolerate it depending on the circumstances.

    My cats always slept in bed with me at night. That's the way I wanted it, and that's what they enjoyed. I'm sure my electric blanket being on during colder weather didn't hurt, and if they really wanted to get warm, they would crawl under the covers.
    Their favorite daytime napping spot was in a spare bedroom with a south facing window. The male was the alpha cat, so he always slept on a cushion on a wicker chair. Meanwhile, the female slept on the end of the bed near the window. Regardless, both spots were very comfortable for them because the sun shone in on them. I always joked that they were taking a sunbath, but the truth was that they were. They loved the heat. In fact, their fur would get so hot that I could barely touch it without getting burned.
