Cheryl, I don't know if it's something cats normally do, but my 12-pound cat Stump has made a habit of sitting on my chest whenever I'm in my bed. Every night, as soon as I lie down and start to read, he's right there. It's really sweet because he purrs and purrs, and sometimes licks my face. And he usually will snuggle his head next to my face. Great way to fall asleep, although it seems that as soon as I doze off, he decides to jump off and make himself comfortable at the foot of the bed!
