Does your cat sleep with you?

[carole]

Only one out of my four cats sleeps upstairs with us , and she is always at the bottom of the bed, her little face perched on her pink heart shaped cushion, our electric blanket going underneath her and i cover her with a blanket to keep her warm, in winter time of course, she never wants in the bed or up close, which is good as i am allergic to cats,luckily the others all have their own beds and a spare one downstairs,they have the run of the place at nights down there and can pick and choose where to sleep.

I hope you can resolve your situation amicably for both kitties sake and your boyfriend. good luck.

Thanks for all the replies! I really appreciate the advice. I know that I'm totally overthinking everything. My boyfriend is probably right saying that Clyde probably doesn't care if he's sleeping with me or not. The downstairs is Clyde's area and he is certainly not going without anything. His food, water, litter boxes, cat tree, toys & blankets are down there. Not to mention that he has a very comfy couch and 2 windows to look out.

I just can't figure out why I feel so guilty locking him up down there at night!? I mean hey he's got it a lot better than he did being caged up at the Humane Society. So why do I feel bad about it?

Anyhow, he has been doing good about pooping in his box until yesterday he pooped on the speaker by his food bowl. He uses the speaker to jump up on his cat tree to look out the window. Then this morning he decided to poop on the floor in the kitchen by his other water bowl. Fun. I've been keeping a notebook and keeping track of his accidents and successes to see if I can find a pattern.

I just want to say that I really appreciate all the advice and replies I've gotten on this message board. It really means a lot to me to have people that know what I'm going through and offer suggestions!! Thanks so much so all of you!!
