Cubby has to sleep in my bed. If he doesn't I wake up in the middle of the night, walk out into the livingroom and grab him. Then I put him on the foot of the bed and grab 'his' blanket and cover him up then I go back to sleep. My feet stay warm, and I feel safe with him there. Even though my husband is right next to me, I know Cubby would run and hide under the bed if any one came into the house but it's just a sense of security for me.
