Does your pet sleep with you??

Absolutely not. No cats upstairs. A big enough chore to stay on top of cat hairs downstairs.

Don’t have any pets, but if I did they wouldn’t be sleeping with me.

My pet has been sleeping in the garage since the end of October. I wouldn't fancy a tortoise in my bed for months on end!!!!

No pets here but if we had them they certainly wouldn't be sleeping with us.

My little black cat comes to bed with me and snuggles up on the bed next to me.

All is well until around 5am when she starts podding about and wanting to sit on my head.....I'm afraid that's when she gets chucked out of the bedroom with the bedroom door firmly closed behind her.

Yes my two dogs sleep on my bed,

Cats all sleep on the bed with us. Fine when they were kittens, but now they’re bigger we have less space...

Our two cats would love to sleep with us but they are not allowed. This is partly because they often catch things at night but they also sometimes have boisterous games of chase up and down the hall and across our bed. They don't appreciate late breakfasts either so the bedroom door is firmly closed! They sit leaning against the outside!!

2 of my cats sleep on top of the bed---- one either side of me so I feel as though I've got a straight-jacket on Doesn't stop me from sleeping through the night though, under the bedclothes on my left side and I don't move.

Definitely not. my DH a very light sleeper and our dog is very nervous and gets upset at every little noise. From the first day we had him our dog goes into his crate at 10pm, the crate has a comfortable mattress, his water and is covered with a blanket on three sides so it is effectively his cave. We don’t hear a peep out of him until 7:30am when DH goes down and takes him for his first walk. He’s never bothered about anything when he’s in there, strong wind, heavy rain or fireworks have never bothered him.

Lovely cats Jillyjosie and Artaylar

I have had cats (not the same ones obviously) for years. I LOVE having a cat to sleep on the bed with me, and I have always had one good, snoozy cat. The problem is, the others aren't so well behaved and after one memorable night, where there was a fight under the bed, a race OVER my head by 2 cats and my ex husband got bitten, when trying to push 1 of them off him, they have been banned from the bedroom.

I do occasionally try again with them. My girl cat will sleep OK until she decides it's bedtime and then she starts her antics, which gradually escalate from mews to patting me, to yowling and a claw or two. My boy cat is nocturnal and night time is play time.

So. No cats in the bedroom. Sad really. It could be so nice.

My Frenchie sleeps as close to me as he can.

No, the dog isn't allowed upstairs but if I am feeling unwell or especially tired and have a snooze on the sofa he will curl up on my lap. There is something rather special about a cuddly dog!

Are you kidding? Having 16lbs of Burmese cat land on you in the middle of the night is not fun ? Cats safely shut away at night.

My dogs slept on a day bed in my room. Not on the bed with me far too hot. The cat sleeps outside in the barn. We only have one dog now so she has the bed all to herself.

My Geman Shepherd snuggles up when I go to bed, but after 10 to 15 minutes gets on his own bed. He loves to be close.

One of my dogs sleeps on my bed and no she does not keep me awake, I have had her since she was six weeks old now she is 11 years and I could not imagine a night without her.

My other dog sleeps downstairs and has her own chair with her fluffy covers on which she leaves to come and greet me in the morning for food times and walking. The other dog does not go onto her chair.

My dogs have always slept in the kitchen because my first dog became senile and incontinent and I reckoned it was better for my dogs to be used to sleeping somewhere that would be ok if they started having accidents. However my latest whippet leads a totally different life and is allowed to do things that my other dogs have never been allowed to do. So we cuddle up together every night. She’s the best hot water bottle you could have. It’s all really down to lockdowns etc and the fact that I’m now retired. I’m not sure that I’m totally happy with it but there’s no going back now. I always used to have a bed full of cats and whippets are very cat like.

No way. Disgusting!

I no longer have a cat but if I did it would not be allowed onto a bed . The thought of dogs in beds turns my stomach ?.

I've had dogs in bed with me since I was a child.

At one time there was the 2 of us and 3 dogs balancing on the bed.

Now it's just the 2 of us and our 2 pups start off on the bed then go on to their own beds that they have in our room.

Couldn't imagine leaving them downstairs.

Funnily enough one of our dogs never came upstairs. No idea why not, we'd had him since he was a pup. But he preferred to stay on the sofa.

Hahaha, this reminds me of a cat I had once. Lovely old boy. Big, dim, with a very sweet temperament (until he saw wildlife, but that's a different story).

I once woke up in the middle of the night, panicking because I couldn't breathe. No wonder. My sweet, fat boy was lying on my chest, purring into my face.
