    LOL Catwoman!!!

    Stump always sleeps on my bed, but never under the covers. He's either at the foot of the bed or curled up next to my hip. Emmett, on the other hand, comes and goes. When he does decide to jump up on the bed, he paws the covers until he can crawl underneath and then attaches himself to my back or my side. Of course, he doesn't stay there; he eventually crawls out from under the covers and then decides to groom Stump, which usually ends up in a wrestling match, much to my chagrin. But when they're not wrestling or whacking each other over the head, it's really sweet to see them both curled up on the bed.

    LOL LOL You guys are so funny! My Marius will sometimes sleep with me, depending on his mood and how cold he is But, when he does decide to grace me with his presence...same thing happens EVERY time. He'll jump up onto the bed (on my side) and make a chirrupy noise. Then, we walks around my head on the pillow and finally he burrows under the covers to sleep against my back. That's when he's really cold. Otherwise he'll curl up on my back or between my feet on top of the covers where I am stuck in an uncomfortable position until he leaves or moves

    ritz goes through phases....she often comes to bed about 2am, cuddles up next to me and sleeps practically in the same position as myself..(on side, paws, arms, legs out, curled up slightly...uses my arm as a pillow. Other times she is on her carpeted window lair, other times on the back of the sofa or curled up on the love seat....equal opportunity kitty.

    Lately, she's been up all night ...um....moving furniture downstairs...or at least that what it sounds like. It seems to be her favorite playtime recently, chasing the fake mousies under the closet doors in the linoleum foyer, then slamming herself against the door trying to get to them.

    I think I would love to attach a mini - kittycam to her to see what she does all night. Last night she found it necessary to trounce over me from head to toe about 8 times during the night...hmmm..mommy makes a good trampoline!

    Gucci used to sleep with us when he was alone, but since we got Tsoomi he decuded it's better to pick on Tsoomi at night instead. Tsoomi never sleeps with us as he's too hot, he sleeps on the floor and sometimes in the sink.
    Milki and Kfitzi used to sleep with us when we first got them, but then they startes waking us up at 5:30 every morning...lately all four cats decided to drive us nuts, they like sitting on the window above our heads because there are birds out side in the early hours... the problem is - they fight over the "good view" and they tend to fall on our heads!!! In the past few weeks we just close the bedroom door, otherwise we won't get much sleep.

    Efrat, I have tried closing the bedroom door at times too but Trevor just pounds on it with his front paws. He is one persistent kitty!

    Hi Pam, My babies just find other windows to sit on... but the funny thing is when I open the door in the morning they all site right next to it, lined up and ready to jump in...

    When Fister first came up, I said: He is NOT going to sleep in our bed!! Well, I guess I had to change my mind about that! He's there most of the time now.

    In the evenings, just before we go to bed, he will sit on the duve waiting and sometimes even call, if he thinks we're too slow or if it's later than usual. He walks back and forth between us about 10 times and then decide to lie on my husband's chest while reading or watching TV. If he goes out for a snack or something, he walks all over John - and he often jumps right up on him when he comes back, as if he was made of concrete - but never on me! The minut I lay down to sleep, he comes over and lie behind my head (that's when I have to give him a headbump) demanding half the pillow and he stays for an hour or so. I can even turn around now and he will stay! Later he retires to under the wardrobe or to his own bed in the next room.

  10. We returned home yesterday from a short (rainy) holiday. Obviously, Edwina had quite enough of the Olympics. As I was trying to watch the closing ceremonies she insisted it was time for bed. She lead me upstairs and jumped up to "assume the position."
    She likes the crook of my knees or hips -- depending on which side I am on. I seem to perform three essential functions 1) furnace, 2) back rest, 3) protective barrier against being rolled on by the larger, far more active sleeper that is papa.

    LOL, Dianne!
    I often think that, when (and IF) I find a guy, I wonder how my boys will feel about sharing their bed with another boy! LOL!

    Many thanks to Kay for the fabulous sig!

    Lamoni will not come up on the bed when we are in it any more. Fifi has pushed him out of that job years ago. He will occasionally come sleep on the couch near me while I watch TV.

    Fifi will get on top of the covers after she thinks that we are asleep. I like it when she sleeps between my feet. That way I can feel when she is there.

    She comes to the bed an makes a chirppy noise before hopping up. One time that woke me up and I rasied my head as she came up. She was all P.O.'d to see me awake. She stalked to the edge of the bed mumbling all the way and got down. Ten minutes later she was back. I kept very still. She got between Cindy and me on top of the covers, laid down, groomed her front paws and went to sleep. Go figure.

    Lamoni won't sit in my lap but just let me leave my pants on the bed. Well, he'll curl up in that empty lap the moment my back is turned. Arrrgh!

    I love them anyway.

    Guess what happened in my bed last night? You guys know Mimi's total dislike for Butter. Its been over a year now, so I think it is a hopeless case.

    Mimi decided to sleep with me instead of Helen and was safely balled up between my legs (and of course, I was trapped as a result). Butter always sleeps with me, so when he came wandering into my room, he just jumped right on up, looked at Mimi and proceeded to come lie down beside me. Uh Oh!!! Mimi did not want to share the space, but finally quit her growling and hissing and settled down. I couldn't go to sleep!! Too much tension in that bed! Ha Ha!!!! Someone finally moved in the middle of the night, Butter, making his usual rounds, the hissing started again, Butter went outside (at his request), Mimi left me for the safety of Helen and Honey's bed, and I finally got some good sleep!

    Logan, I can just picture that scenario perfectly!!! It's funny how we allow for our own discomfiture when it comes to sleeping cats! LOL LOL I can only imagine that tension!!! Yikes! At least you were able to finally get some shut eye when they left! LOL LOL There's something to be said about a good night's sleep, ya know? LOL

    Kedi sleeps with us, mostly on MY PILLOW

    Wylie does not really sleep.......he rests a bit. Weird.
    When he does this, SOMETIMES it's with us, but most often it's downstairs in a chair.

    Liza (RB) used to sleep a the foot of the bed- kept my feet warm in winter.
