    my cats have always slept with me or anywhere they liked - usually on any clothes that are about! My old girl (in my avi) used to sleep next to my head on my pillow, or head on pillow and body under duvet, or on my chest when i was on my back, under the duvet.

    i would quite often wake to find her sleeping in the small of my back.
    Cats don't have owners - they have staff!! :D:p

    Every cat is different!!! Currently, our big tabby foundling boy sleeps in a gorgeous knitted bed, under our bed. After he's dashed out in the morning to 'take care of business' he comes back to sleep curled up on my chest. Our soppy ginger boy sleeps at the top of the stairs as though he's guarding us, bless him. Our adopted (dumped in our garden) black girly sleeps in a variety of strange places - currently she's adopted the bathroom rug. But she's also fond of under the clothes maiden/behind the sofa/right in the middle of the wooden floor...

    Kitten, my lilac oriental, loves to be warm and she discovered some years ago that the balding Mr Darling loses heat through his head. She has slept ever since, wrapped around his head. Much in the manner of Davey Crocketts hat.

    Wherever she wants - usually on my head:rotfl::rotfl:

    A.A. Milne

    We are such stuff
    As dreams are made on; and our little life
    Is rounded with a sleep.

    They both sleep in my arms like babies... But babies which squash and make a lot of noise when they realise you are awake!

    Although my bf has demanded the bedroom is cat free for a while :( so they sleep on the step by the bedroom waiting for the alarms to go off and me to let them in for a bit.

  • Big cat - either in the wardrobe (permanently propped open so he can get in/out;) on an old pillow with a fleece blanket over) as it backs onto the cupboard where the hot water tank is (they're not daft!) or on my pillow.

    Wee cat - bit odd atm as for the past couple of weeks I've found her either lying on the lino in the ensuite (but hot water pipes do run under it;)) or she seems to have found a new (yet to be discovered) place as I keep hunting for her and can't find her but she's def upstairs.....

    Mine or my kids beds, or the pile of blankets that i leave for her on my sofa.
    I couldnt shut her out of the bedrooms even if i wanted to, as she knows how to open the doors!

    Sweep sleeps in his own little tent, previously a tv unit with a pillow on the shelf and a table cloth over it to hide him away from sight, in the dining room whlst sooty sleeps on the cat tree, top branch as far away from the ground as possible in the kitchen. Our bedroom is out of bounds except for sundy mornings when they come in for a cuddle while we watch the super 15's rugby in bed.xx
