I always have at least 2 cats on the bed with me, and usually 3 or 4! and I love it, but like Donna said, sometimes you have to be a contortionist! I would never want to shut them out, but if it really bothers you, you could either shut the door to your room, or make a comfy bed for them elsewhere, or shoo them off the bed everytime they get on it, they will get the hint!
