where do you pets sleep at night?

Kingfisher07

My dog only lives with us at the weekends and with my mother during the week. He sleeps in the bed with me but in an armchair at my mother's house, he doesn't seem to suffer for it.

Whilst we love having him snuggling up in the bed, there is no doubt it disturbs our sleep. Given my time again I think I'd have bitten the bullet at the beginning and got him into the habit of sleeping in his own bed

Usually 2 cats on the bed (unless I get fed up and shut them out), 1 on the back of the sofa, 1 on his own shelf in the diningroom, 1 in the laundry basket, 1 either on the bathroom mat or in the bathroom sink, 1 in front of the fridge-freezer and 1 on the turn of the stairs.

My cat very graciously allows me to share her king-size bed

Yes, mine does too! He usually stretches out as well to give me as little room as possible. Selfish b****r! Look!


His other favorites include HIS washing basket


and HIS sofa

steve_r - oh yes! Mine started out with her own side of the bed but has since decided that the preferred spot is, of course, between me and the edge. On the rare occasions that she starts off sleeping on HER pillow I will inevitably wake up with feet hanging over the end as during the night she will migrate to MY pillow and then push me down the bed as she stretches out! :rolleyes:

Where ever they please as long as it's not on my bed! I have enough trouble getting enough space sharing a bed with Mr Watcher, nevermind 3 medium sized dogs :rotfl:.

Before we had dogs I always imagined that any animals we had would sleep in the kitchen, or at least downstairs. However.........................

When Bob came to live with us from Dogs Trust she was quite poorly with kennel cough, so we had her bed in the corner of our room whilst she was ill and never got round to moving it out.

Then Fat Bob the Ginger Pup came to live with us. She'd been locked in a utility room for most of her life so she takes the opportunity to fall asleep where ever she fancys :rolleyes: . Usually stretched out on the sofa, or on the downstairs dog bed by the radiator, or the armchair, or at the top of the stairs where the central heating pipes make the floor warm. Occasionally she sleep in our room.

Black Bob's previous owners had let him sleep on their bed. We had a hell of a job stopping him trying to get into bed with us:eek:. Now he sleeps on his own bed next to Bob. But if ever I leave my bedroom door open during the day you can be sure that he's had a sneaky sleep on my bed. It's the ball of black hairs on the cream duvet cover that gives him away. :rolleyes:

I put the cat in the unused back bathroom to sleep, with his tray and his bed; this started out because he took to demanding his breakfast ever earlier, and scratching at the bedroom door if we didn't let him in. Not cute at 4am! But he's become increasingly difficult to put to bed, and I'm wondering whether I should stop shutting him in? He's an indoor cat, and he always has access to his waterbowl, fwiw.

when we bought our dog mum felt sorry for him coz he was always cold so she let him sleep in her bed under the quilt, and never been able to stop him, as im writing this hes asleep under my quilt, i have stopped him sleeping in my bed at night as i get so hot and i wake up with headaches, so he sleeps with my parents lol. if i leave my door open he will go in there jump on the bed lift the quilt up with his nose and then under hes goes and he will stay there all day and night if he could and hwne he gets hot he pops his nose out.

i also have a horse but he doesnt sleep in my bed hes got his stable

our cat sleeps on our bed after losing his friend last year he didnt like being downstairs on his own, he would scratch at the stairs door until we got out of bed and let him upstairs with us.

hiya,

My cat will sleep ... where he wants

It depends on hiss mood and the temperature

At night in the winter 95% of the time he's sleeps on the bed with me sort of attached using my legs as a pillow/ hot water bottle... if its really cold he'll get under the covers !!!

In the summer he will stretch out near the botton of the bed ... or if its really warm on the floor ... hisz choice

In the day it will be the study if I'm in their or the living room in the evening...
My horse sleeps in his stable

our cats are banned from the bed room at night but sleep there during the day.. or anywhere else in the house that is warm enough - on the counter above the tumble drier is a favourate.

our older dog, who we just lost, used to sleep on the hardest part of the floor she could fine. we got the wooden floor sanded so got her a new bed (she had never used a bed when the carpet was down) which she would not go near, tried everything. so we got a rug and put it down where she usually lay. she never lay on the rug. we got a bigger rug which covered most of the area between all the chairs and couch, she squeezed herself into the tightest corner to stay off the rug!!! as she got older she developed arthritis so we gave up and got a carpet just so she wasn't lying on the hard floor all the time.

our young dog will lie or sleep just about anywhere. she loves her bed down the stairs but would only sleep on the floor up the stairs... you work it out!
