I don't know what it's like to sleep in our bed with out a crew. We have 8 at this time. The nightly routine is I have to be in bed first, then my wife. I am only allowed to sleep on my left side as my boy MITS has to snuggle his but against me with his paw on my wife’s pillow. Once he has decided that we are in for the night he goes to check the house. In the mean time his brother PEAKE lays on top of my wife with CHESSIE (Main Coon) lays on her feet. About this time MITS returns and snuggle between us for a while, then moves to my wife’s head and stays there the rest of the night. PRINCESS and/or LENNY will lay on my corner at the foot of the bed. At about 3:00 am LENNY head buts me then chasses PEAKE off my wife and takes PEAKES place. Between 5-5:30 are the chorus starts as it time to feed. MITS, PEAKE, CHESSIE, LENNY, and PRINCESS join us on the bed too make sure that my wife gets up. I am not supposed to feed according to the crew.
So have bed space is a premium but I would not change it. Just enjoy it while you can.
