We attempted crate training we both of ours, but we gave up when they cried and cried at night. They both sleep in the bed with us, under the covers curled up with us. The fiance says they hog the bed, they do, but so do I.. I can't imagine them not being in there with me, they keep the bed cozy when the fiance is not home. We haven't had problems with them in the bed with us, we just move them off for our "special time" together and they stay down until we let them back up. I just love my snugglebuddies with me in bed...all 3 of them..fiance included.
