Cats Laying on you...

[happylabs]

Mama cat has this new routine when I go to bed at night. She likes to lay on top of me which is funny because it took her a couple years after I brought her inside to even lay in my lap.

Last night I just wanted to go to sleep so I petted her for a few and then tucked my arms into my blankets. She was so funny, she got all snuggled up on top of my upper torso area and was purring so sweetly. Every once in a while I would feel her come close to my face and sniff, sniff, sniff my mouth. I guess she was trying to see if I was still breathing.

Does anyone else's cat lay on top of them like this?

That is so sweet! When I go to bed, Fister always come up and walks around my head. He will stand in front of me for a few seconds with his tail almost in face, until I stroke him. Then, when I have settled with my book, he turns around and sits down, clawing into my arm and purrs loudly. After a while, he will turn on his side and expects tummy rubs, which I provide, of course! He never came under the duvets much, but I have recently put it over him with only his head sticking out and he stays longer and longer - I love that!

As soon as I turn off the lights, he goes behind my head, settles down on his pillow in the middle of the bed and gives himself a thorough wash. LOL!

That is very sweet. No, my cats will usually sleep in their cat beds which are on my bed, the cat condo in my room, or at the foot of my bed. Sometimes Storm will cuddle with me and lay in the crook of my arm.

That is sweet. They each seem to have their own routines. Tink always come in first before Mama. Tinky does her little dance is what I call it. I will pet her and she will dance back and forth, side to side and I will give her chin and ear scratches. Then she will lay down, belly up and I will give her a belly scratch. When she is done she leaves and Mama comes in. Buddy never sleeps up near my head. He will come back to bed shortly after I get into bed too and he always sleeps at my feet.

Yes I have several of my babies that like to sleep on top of me.. I just get used to it.. I do have three babies that like to sniff my mouth too.. They only do it in bed in the early mornings right at wake up time.. I have not figured out why yet..

All of our babies like to sleep on or near us at night thankfully not all at once They make nice little bed warmers We have leg-layers, arm-curlers, chest-squishers, and one chin-snugger.

I actually had a post about this somewhere on the board...I wondered if their choice to lie upon us in particular places was based on where on mom they nursed as kittens.
