      Exactly how I feel about my baby. I’ve never had a pet I loved so much. I’ve only had my companion for 8 months and we got him as a lil kitten from a lady who was giving them away at a farm. Anyway he comes to me as soon as I call him and completely changed my life. I look forward to him coming excited to receive me when I come from work.

      @@wxkat After I had my gall bladder removed and was home recovering in bed two of our cats snuggled in on either side of my abdomen. I was in a lot of pain and worried about the cats jumping on my incision accidentally. However, both cats remained at my sides and purred more loudly than I have ever heard them purr before. Also when I have a really bad migraine one of our cats will lay next to my head and purr. Cats are great!

    My husband had a benign but very large brain tumor removed a few years ago. It took a lot of recovery. Our cat must have sensed when he got tired because he would literally come get hubby to "take him to bed", then stay in bed beside him until he fell asleep. They he'd come out again to the Lounge for an hour or two until I went to bed. Even after many months, and hubby went back to work, our kitty would jump up on my husband at exactly 9pm every night and meow at him to go to bed, so he didn't get overtired. It was so amazing. Cats are so loving and cute.

      I'm sure she's running free now. This happened to me 3 weeks ago. My first cat also died. He got so weak and somehow I accepted that his time is near. I tried to force feed him but his strength never came back. So I placed his bed near my bed so he could see me should he decide to go.
      Then suddenly, despite his weakness, he desperately tried to walk near my bed as if he was trying to sleep with me one last time. He never made it to the bed, after trying to stand, he vomitted and died. I'm still mourning him now.

      July last year, my cat passed away at 15 and half years old. The vet said he wouldn't last til Monday at most which was only 3-4 days away. That night I had him sleep on my bed and he passed away in my arms the next morning at sunrise after he woke me up. I petted him til he was gone. I still have him in an urn that I pet the top of whenever I think of him and I got a cremation certificate with a lock of fur in a small bag.

    I have had cats all my life 57 years. I let them sleep with me and I get the benefit of a purr to put me to sleep. Also I am very aware of what's going on around me at all times. And having a cat or dog sleep with me, they can hear more than I ever could.
    I have heard stories of a cat literally attacking an intruder to defend their owner. One of my girls will growl if they hear or see anyone outside my house.
    Lucky I haven't had one of my cats defend me, but knowing they will tell me if someone is around makes me rest better.
    One of my girls is a real therapy cat, she helps with my anxiety and depression. They will keep me grounded and calm.
    They are great friends.

    All 4 of our cats are strictly indoors, so it is common for at least two of them to sleep with me every night, and I love it. A year and a half ago I was diagnosed with cancer. My kitty would not leave my side the day I got the diagnosis. She could sense something was wrong and wanted to comfort me. After undergoing surgery and recovery at the hospital, I came home and was told off for leaving my fur baby all alone, despite the fact she had 3 others to play with, plus other humans!

A warm place to sleep next to me in our bed and a pet door to allow him the outdoors any time he wants. He is a great guard cat and protective of his yard. Never wanders off looking for trouble, but will defend his territory any time from other cats. Always ready to come up to me when I call him and can sit on my lap for as long as he wants. He is just the best cat buddy I have ever cared for. I will miss him dearly in the not too distant future.

    It helps them feel safe
    My Juni has always been protected by me and she knows this. Often we play at attacking each other and I can run at full speed (for a 72 yo) and she often won't move at all because she knows I'd never really try to hurt her.
    They’re seeking warmth
    Juni prefers sleeping under the covers with her fur up against my bare legs. It is an incredibly comforting, soothing feeling for me and she stays there all night long.
    They think you need them
    She's right, you know. My wife and I had a huge Siamese born in our house (22 lbs) who was incredible. If he thought you were down, he'd hop up in your lap, stare with those huge blue eyes in to yours, reach out a paw and literally pat your cheek to comfort you.
    Should you Let your Cat Sleep With you?
    It's not even a choice on my part, it's a way of making sure that I am there in the night and haven't floated away. It is in fact a demonstration of her ownership of me, not just trust. As she's never in contact with other animals, for 5 years there have been no problems that way. Juni helps me when I cook, especially when I butcher chicken thighs into separated meat and bones for freezing, demanding sacrificial portions on the counter as I work. Not sanitary? LOL, I'll guarantee that I already have every germ she has in her in me already. In fact, I credit her with helping to keep my immune system working well with such constant exposure, although I have wondered if someone would get a cat infection if I decided to bite them...
    I'm convinced that the more an animal has almost exclusive access to a human, the more "humanlike" they become, understanding moods and even words quite well. Juni replaced my wife of 45 years 5 years ago and we have become mutually dependent on each other in some amazing ways. She travels with me (can't imagine going anywhere over night without her) and is well behaved in the car (other than when she goes crazy, jumps up on my headrest and attacks my hair with gusto, sometimes leading to a loving CHOMP on the back of my head at 70mph for which I am prepared). The downside is that she becomes very withdrawn and depressed if I'm gone for too long.
    Juni is not human, but she's as close to being a mate for me these days as is possible in reality. The love of an animal can reflect in a small way the love of God Himself...

    I had 2 amazing half Siamese cats who loved each other so much it almost felt as if they did not need me for anything other than feeding them or letting them in or out of the house. They were quite content to sleep downstairs every night until they got to be about 14 years old when they decided a little comfort was in order so slept on my bed for the last few years of their lives.
    One across my head the other stretched along the length of my body.
    They both lived until they were over 18 and I still miss them so much.

If I have tried to stop her snoring, she gets up and moves far enough away so that I can’t reach her. Lilly is a very clever and loving cat. I love here so much! She makes me laugh with her antics ❤

    Almost all of my cats slept under the covers with me, often getting back under there after the morning feeding, etc. I worried at first that they wouldn’t get enough air, but apparently they did, they loved it. When I got hone from work, they would be back (or still?) under there! They came out after the furnace warmed up the house.

    Since my 18 & 20 year old cats passed recently, I cannot sleep well. I didn't realize how many of my habits - including sleeping - were impacted by them. They definitely own you, not the other way around. People thought they were well trained but they didn't realize that to get them to comply, I had to learn what they wanted in return - treats, brushing, or praise.

    I remembered sleeping with my 2nd cat when I had a very bad cold. It was a nap with me. He was my best friend. I even had a very special bond with him. Even getting home after 8pm for late dinner. He did sat in a chair next to me and even put his paw on my lap to let me know he was next to me. He did loved his belly rubs by me on my belly. I was the only person that he trusted to do that. I was even the 1st person that he liked when he was a stray. My family had another cat,too that he was friends with. The 1st cat was more laid back with another cat around. That cat was my buddy,too. He was sweet and friendly cat but, in a different way. I was so lucky to have them in my life. They were both strays from a little bit over 2 years from each other. Even both of them were red tabby cats. My father and my sister liked the 1st cat. Myself and my mother liked the 2nd cat a little bit more. I do loved these 2 cats in a different way. The same with my other family members. Even one grandmother likes one cat than the other one. Even my other grandmother liked one cat for being a big sweetie towards her that instantly fell in loved with. This one grandmother did hated cats for a long time. Till she met the 2nd cat. The other grandmother thought that the 2nd cat was very strange for her. She liked the 1st cat because he was a normal cat. Even my sister did bonded with the 2nd cat,too. Even my father used to played with the 2nd cat while he was grading papers the cat flopped on top of the papers. My father used his pen to gently tapped on the cat’s head. He said that he hated that cat. I did know that my father was joking because he was a big softy towards that cat.

    I'll never forget this:
    It was an ominous, quiet night, and the house was just starting to settle in. My 6-year-old self was just starting to doze off to sleep when I heard a weird scratching/scraping noise. It eventually stopped, so I eventually fell asleep. I again woke up to the sound, along with an additional high-pitched noise I had(at the time) _never_ heard before. I ran to the kitchen door, looked out the window...nothing there, and the sound disappears.... At that point, I gave up. Maybe it was one of those strange, near-to-life dreams I'd had once before.
    I crawled back into my bed to go to sleep, only to wake up again to what felt like a machine, vibrating on my stomach/chest area. I was about to yell and panic, only to realize it was just one of our outside country cats. I figured she was just lonely and wanted to spend time with someone. I let her stay with me until she felt it was time to go, and then I opened the kitchen door to let her out.
    Our mom was _not_ happy when she learned that Tiger scratched her why through our screen window 😂😂😂.

    I love that my Siamese-mix senior girl likes to sleep in my bed. One evening, she noted a silent (to me) disturbance and kept staring up at the wide ceiling fan, until a little bat emerged to fly circles against the cathedral ceiling. Always believe in cat super-senses! I'd been awake at the time, so knew that the bat had made no contact with us, and we immediately vacated the bedroom and I shut the door. We slept elsewhere for six weeks, even though I'd safely caught the bat for release, eight days after its appearance. I was too spooked to soon return to my bedroom!

    My cat sleeps with me. I usually read untl nearly midnight. Around 11:45 pm, if I have not gone to bed, she lets me know that it is time to hit the hay. She stays in bed until I fall asleep. Then, I think, she does her thing, but she is back in bed by 5 am. Moreover, to keep me in line, she starts licking me about 6:30 am, as if say sleep time is over, and it is time for breakfast.
