Does your kitty let you sleep?

I've been sleeping on my sofa & given my kitty, Lili, my bedroom for now as her safe haven.

Right now I'm letting her explore my apartment at her own pace.

I'm a super light sleeper. So I'm wondering if she'll sleep in my bed with me & let me sleep :)

My previous kitty would paw my head or wait till I laid still enough to lay on me; and that made sleeping uncomfortable LOL

I watched this tutorial to try and make her a pet bed. I'll see how that works. Every pet bed I've bought for my previous cat; she never used. So I'm debating on buying one.

Do your kitties let you sleep or do you have to put them outside the bedroom?

The twins are too restless, so they have the rest of the house, while Cleo and Gigi sleep on my bed. Cleo usually wants out of the bedroom before it's time to get up, but Gigi will sleep in the same spot all night.

Personally I wouldn't buy a cat bed, just make something up.
Use some old worn bedding (old blankets or towels) and put it in a shallow box or basket.
Chiquita sleep either on the couch in the living room or an old laundry basket with an old bed spread folded up in it.

When I am not in my bed, I can find my cats sleeping in their own beds. But when I go to bed, Oreo will wait until I am snuggled and then she gets out of her own bed to sleep in mine. I love knowing that she is on the bed with me and doesn't bother me until breakfast time. :)

Monty sleeps on my bed every night and sidney loves this small table I have in my bathroom(although he like to alternate between the table and the windows sill)lol.
Although sometimes Ill wake up and they will both be on my bed then i lol!

Patch has a routine that he does every night. When we go to bed, he goes in one of his ("many") beds. Around 10 minutes later, he comes on my side and sits there while watching us for around 5 minutes. He waits for me to turn on my back and sleeps on my chest for another 5 minutes. Then goes to my boyfriend's side and he does the same thing. After that, he goes to sleep in one of his bed and don't disturb us for the rest of the night! ;)

Treize never bothers us while we sleep. He did it maybe once or twice (in 4 years) and he just wanted to get some cuddles. He usually sleeps on the sofa.

We don't know yet about our girl Maya (who has been with us for only 4 days). She is supposed to be a cuddler so I guess we might see her in our bed when she will be out of her safe room! ;)

Aww Maya. I like that name too.

Mine is a headbutter and she licks me from time to time lol.

The shelter told me she was a lap cat but she hasn't sat on mine yet. I've always wanted a lap cat. The only time my old kitty would sit on my lap is when I took her to the vet!! LOL

Our baby kitty curls up with me when I nap on the couch. Occasionally she will sleep above my head and put her paw on my forehead. She's so cute.

I made her a bed out of my daughter's no longer used fleece Dora the Explorer blanket. It's really soft and she loves it. I have it tucked away in the laundry room so she can go in there and sleep if she wants to be by herself. She actually sleeps in there a lot.

I dont let my cats in my bedroom...only reason for this is because my 1 year old sleeps in the same room and my cat Cricket just loves jumping in there and would rather not have to deal with her waking up...but once she goes to her own room they can come sleep with me again

I'm a light sleeper as well and when we first got "lil mama", it was a couple of nights of getting very little sleep. Soooo, I put her in a cat carrier when she slept, and covered the whole carrier with a light blanket and she slept in that til she heard me get up in the morning. She was so little that we were afraid she'd get stuck somewhere and not be able to get out on her own but she's gotten to the point now that she's big enough to handle sleeping outside the carrier. We bought a "cat tree" for her, and the other kitties, and she LOVES getting on the tippy top little shelf thing and sleeping. Keeps her BFF(our chihuahua) from trying to play with her when she wants to sleep. He hates the tree because he can't figure out how to get up to her. LOL

Since I didn't like the idea of a pet sleeping in my bed I made a bed for my Coppelia since day one. I used a small cardboard box, because cats are supposed to like dark somewhat secretive places and filled it with a fluffly pillow some warm blankets and a very big plastic bottle full of hot water tightly wrapped in a towel. It worked. Even now that the box is bigger and the water bottle is absent she sleeps there the whole night except that she wakes up insanely early to pounce on my feet and then, after I push her off once or twice she snuggles next to them. Usually I'm sleepy enough at that time to not put up much of a fight and surrender.
