A couple of days ago, my roommates and I received a new kitten. As with all of my pets, I allowed her to sleep with me the night she arrived. The very next day, however, my roommates forbade me to continue the pattern on the grounds that "dogs and cats lose respect for their owners if allowed to share the same bed." I have never heard anything of the sort, nor have I been able to find so much as a mention of this phenomenon on any site. Is there any truth to this seeming urban legend? That is, will a cat (or a dog for completion's sake) cease to view you as "alpha" if they sleep in your bed with you?
