    Even though I have a severe allergy to him (and consequently live on various meds), my Moo always sleeps on my bed.

    He is allowed anywhere he wants, and loves sitting in the fridge! x
    Gone ... or have I?

    From Day 1 , when we brought her home from Cat Protection, our moggie decided that she was going to sleep on our bed, preferably on the pillow above my head. I have since 'persuaded' her that she ought to lie at the other end of the bed.

    She's not allowed on work surfaces or tables, and she knows it, but that doesn't stop her climbing on them and giving us that look of disdain when we chase her off

    My two furballs, Smokey and Bandit are house cats (main road, train track etc keeps them in!) and have free reign in the house, they are very well behaved and I have scatching posts for them in a few rooms.

    They used to be confined to the kitchen at night to sleep until my BF decided to let them sleep on the bed a few times when I was working nights....consequently the habit stuck and I'd feel lost now if they didn't keep my feet warm at night.

    3 cats:

    No.1 sleeps at the foot of the bed on a throw
    No.2 sleeps on top of a cardboard box ontop of the 8ft wardrobe
    No.3 sleeps behind the coving at the top of the high level kitchen cupboards

    we've given up trying to get them to sleep in cat beds as all that happens is No.2 wrestles them and throws them round the house all night

    Both of mine do, I'd have world war three on my hands if I tried to shut them out!

    Jarvis sleeps at the bottom by my feet (username explained!) and Dylan usually sleeps up top with me (I'm ashamed to say sometimes under the duvet with me!) he's tonkinese and they are notoriously cuddly.

    Have to say being a single girl I wouldn't have it any other way. God knows what I'll do if I actually find a husband one day though!

    My three have free reign of the house too :)

    No 1 cat, the 17yr geriatric sleeps on DH's computer chair, and if the door to the room is shut boy do we know it. She can yowl for England.
    No 2 cat, the 6yr horror/terror cat sleeps downstairs with his doggy brother.
    No 3 cat, the 6yr princess sleeps curled up with me on the bed, although she does like to try and creep in with DH but quickly gets booted to my side..
