QUESTION OF THE DAY, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 5, 2022

[neely]

Happy first Wednesday of the New Year! I'm still writing 2021 and not used to changing the date yet. Winter has come in like a lion here with our first measurable snowfall last weekend and temperatures dipping into the single digits with the windchill overnight. So yesterday I pulled out the flannel sheets and changed the linens. Guess what? Carleton approved and slept on the bed curled up next to me all night.

QUESTION OF THE DAY - WHERE DOES YOUR CAT SLEEP AT NIGHT? ON THE BED WITH YOU, IN THEIR OWN CAT BED, UPSTAIRS/DOWNSTAIRS, ON A PIECE OF FURNITURE, WITH OTHER PETS, ETC?

 

[Mia6]

With her mama part of the night but I have watched her looking out the slider around 10:30pm

 

[betsygee]

Both of them on the bed, always. My snuggle buddies.

 

[Katie M]

Selene sleeps with me, and I don't know where Charlie goes

 

[NY cat man]

Prancer: on Michele's pillow right by her head
Miss Eleanor: curled up next to me
Stretch: sometimes next to me, other times in the (former) laundry basket
Bashful: on top of my dresser or on the bed next to the heat register
Digger: in one of the cat trees or on the sofa downstairs

 

[LannyLC]

Lil Cat on my bed, mix of foot end or curled up right beside me.
Lanny sometimes on my bed but mostly on living room velvet couch, the little luxuriator.

 

[Lari]

No idea! I think it varies, but not in our bed. Lelia usually comes and snuggles if I'm breastfeeding in the middle of the night like a guard cat, but leaves again when I'm done. They rotate through several different napping places during the day, so it's probably the same at night.

 

[artiemom]

Geoffrey, on my bed. He starts out cuddled up next to me; then as I et rstless, he moves down to the feet end... still cuddling... It is like a straight jacket...

One thing I will say, is that he does jump down for food and the litter box. G does it so gently that I can never feel him jump down and back up.

Artie would be cuddled up against my feet all night long. I literally could not move... and I could feel him when he jumped down and up..

 

[susanm9006]

Lola is locked in her room for the night since she and Willow do not get along. She has a sofa, cat bed and chair in there to choose from but usually sleeps at night on the sofa.

Willow sleeps somewhere along side me in my bed, never touching though. She gets up to play at least a few times during the night.

 

[strider rose]

lucky and stardust both on the bed . one in the fuzzy cat bed by me and the other by the hubby

 

[Kat0121]

They start out with me but never stay all night. Sophie comes back in early in the morning, Lilith does too sometimes.

 

[Elphaba09]

Astrid: Under the covers or on the extra pillow on my bed
Jasper: By my feet
Cassian/Xanthippe (whichever gets there first): On my hip. If Cassian gets there first, Xanthippe sleeps on Fennimore. If Xanthippe gets there first, he sleeps on my husband's dresser, on the ottoman downstairs, or next to Fennimore.
Fennimore: His special pillow on the daybed in the living room
Iroh: On or next to Fennimore
Tara: On the extra pillow on my bed, on my pillow, or on the nightstand
Evangeline: Top part of the cat black cat tower
Simon: Wherever he feels like sleeping, but usually on the daybed in the living room
Freya: In one of the cubbies in either tower or on the couch in the living room.
Iris: In her bed in the upstairs hall
Juniper: On the daybed, in the saucer bed, in the box bed, or on top of the bookshelf in the upstairs hall
Verity: On the daybed, on the couch, on the bench by the window in the sitting room, on an elevated cat bed between the daybed and the wall

 

[allmykitties]

Circe: next to me on the bed
TV & Domino: together around the foot of my bed
Autumn: on my chair in the living room
Cosette: on top of my dresser
Leo and Jemmy: don't be silly, night time is play time!

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Mooch usually stays on the couch snuggled in the big blue blanket. Sometimes she goes back to the glider chair in the dining area where she spends her days. It’s got a blanket and in the winter I add her heated bed; but we doing plug it in at night.

 

[kashmir64]

Onsa and Samai are on my legs, one on each side.
Kumal is either against my stomach or around my head (not on it, just real close).

 

[Bri5]

They are all outdoor rescues. They sleep in the garage. Now that it's cooler, they usually double up in different parts of the cat tree.

 

[Willowy]

I close my bedroom door, or I'd be up all night with cats richocheting off my head! The small dogs sleep with me and the big dogs sleep in the entryway/kitchen area. So I don't know where the cats sleep, wherever they want, lol.

 

[TMcats]

Frances sleeps on me all night. And if she doesn't sleep on me she sleeps at the end of my bed or beside me. At night the beds hers

 

[Tobermory]

It took about two weeks after Lily crossed the Bridge at Thanksgiving for Iris and Mocha to start sleeping with me. Curled up by my head at night was Lily’s special time with me, and the other two didn’t even come into the bedroom. They slept together on the sofa. I don’t know how Lily warned them off—there weren’t any fights—but they left her to it. A couple of weeks after she died, Mocha started creeping in carefully to look around to make sure she wasn’t trespassing. A few days after that, Iris started to come in. Now, they Velcro themselves together and then Velcro themselves to my back and that’s how we spend the night.

 

[Tik cat's mum]

Patches normally sleeps in my son's bed with him, and comes into my room early morning for cuddles. Bandit sleeps on my hubby's legs.
