Does your pet sleep with you??

Years ago I had a cat that liked to sleep between the quilt cover and the quilt. It never kept me awake just crept in sometime during the night.

I don’t have any pet and I certainly would not let them sleep with me, I think the cat purring would keep me awake and a dog in bed with me a big No

Until two years ago I would have been horrified at the thought of a dog even going upstairs. Then my daughter got a - no THE- most beautiful Blenheim cavvie. He sometimes stays with us overnight so I move into the spare room and he sleeps with me. Usually cuddled up as close as he can possibly get. He snores like a train, and is so heavy once asleep that he’s difficult to shove over. And I love it. It means throws, pillow slips and duvet covers laundered more often but sooooooo worth it. To wake up to that face and big brown eyes is just magical. And if he wakes first he paws at my arm until I wake. Just love it ??

If i can count the husband then yes,otherwise a definate no even though i don`t have pets.

Our cat sleeps in his own bed on the landing, so he keeps a watchful eye on everything. He’s also an amazing alarm clock, very reliable and persistent. Our dog sleeps on the bed, but in the dead of. Ishtar when it’s cold she works her way up the bed and curls up in my neck. She seems to need the comfort and security. Unfortunately both her and my partner snore pretty loudly.

We've always allowed our dog Barney to sleep on our bed, but wouldn't recommend.

He bed hops between our son's bed and ours, and disturbs us most nights. He is 10 years old now, and it isn't as easy for him climbing on the bed as it was when he was younger. Our son bought a special pair of steps for dogs to help him climb up. The trouble is that he refuses to use it, and expects us to lift him up.

I wouldn't allow another pet to sleep on our bed, they definitely don't help you to get a good night's sleep, quite the reverse!

Our dog sleeps on his own bed in our bedroom, but sometimes he sneaks up on the end of our bed during the night, especially if it's very cold. We don't mind, it's lovely to wake up to his smiling face telling us to get up.

No way. Disgusting!

Absolutely!

My dog shadows me all day everywhere. He would be utterly devastated if he couldn’t be with me at night. We are a comfort to each other. He’s a rescue boy and didn’t have a very nice start in life so I want him to feel safe and loved all the time. I do understand people who do t want to sleep with their pets but I’m a softie. One of the reasons my husband says we can’t have hens...he says they’ll end up at the end of the bed every night. He’s not wrong either.

Yes, small dog. She doesn't keep me awake and I've almost let my pets sleep on my bed if they want to, except for a very large rescue dog who wasn't able to climb stairs.

Yes definitely our 2 Cats sleep with me.... My Husband's in a separate bedroom however

May Be, my lately deceased whippet lurcher was catlike as I have observed using that very word. She did not sleep in my bed. But my new dog sleeps under the covers with me in my bed. I do not know whether or not he did so with his former owner but he does seems to expect a lot of snuggles.

Have 3 cats and the elderly one sleeps on my bed and has her own throw that she always lies on. The other 2 sleep downstairs or on the stairs. I find it very soothing having a cat sleeping near me.

We have 2 cats that sleep with us. one is very heavy.
I really would rather they didn't but if locked out they rip up carpet outside door.
Cats rule in this house .

Yes! We've three rescue cats, they seem to take it in turns to sleep with us. Big ginger likes to snuggle between us, black and white sleeps at the foot of the bed. Smallest and stripey likes shoulders and necks. Sometimes they wake us - but it's a small price to pay for the family being together.

Yes, my dog has a bed on the floor by my head end. In the mornings about 5 ish she will get up on the bed with us. When my husband is on night shift, she will sleep on the bed with me. She is my life saver, gave me a reason to carry on when things are hard.

No, I don’t have a pet, but I’m sure if I had a cat it would sleep with me.

Our dog has two beds one downstairs and one upstairs. At our bedtime he simply changes beds.

He is 12 in July and I fancy getting a bit stiff and arthritic. So we’ve bought him a heated blanket ready to use on cold nights or if he seems to be stiff.

Peggy has slept in bed with me since DH died two weeks ago. We have comforted each other.

The only problem is she now expects a lie in on a Sunday morning.

My pooch snuggles for a nap on the couch but has her own comfy bed.

We have two cats. We've had cats for years but these are our sons. He had one cat, not neutered as he lived in a third floor flat and the cat didn't go out. He left her at his girlfriend's parents whilst he was on holiday and it got pregnant. Three kittens arrived so he had four cats. One male cat was aggressive to his mother and sisters so we took it. Then he went to work abroad so we took one of the other now fully grown kittens a female. Initially we locked them in the kitchen at night, well pulled the door shut, but they kept escaping. Eventually we admitted defeat and the female often joins us on the bed during the night. She's heavy they are big cats. It doesn't help me sleep. She tends to come on my side and gets a gentle but persistent push from my husband if she goes on his side. She also snores quietly too.

Our small Parsons Jack Russell sleeps on and in our bed. He's 11 now, and when we first got him as a pup I didn't intend for him to be allowed upstairs never mind on the beds! He's very clean and loves to snuggle up close. He's a burrower so likes to be under the duvet on a cold night. I love the feeling of his warm, heavy body against my legs and the way he sighs blissfully when he's got himself settled. I probably don't get as good a night's sleep as I should, especially when I'm experiencing nighttime hot flushes! But he's such an important part of the family that we couldn't imagine him being shut away downstairs. We feel kind of honoured that another species feels comfortable enough to want to sleep with us!

Absolutely, mine do - I wouldn't be able to sleep without their company since my lovely husband died last May. Usually nowadays it's just 2 of my dogs - the cats and the other two dogs are apparently more into doing their own thing, but Monty and Isla and I are a bonded unit and they give my heart ease. Here's Monty, who got to bed before me this particular night.

Our Yorkie ,who was a rescue dog, slept with us and we slept better for him being there. He died last November and we miss him terribly.

My tiny dog sleeps on the end of my bed, past dogs slept beside it. The small cat would love to sleep on my bed, but the big cat sleeps in the spare bedroom and guards the upstairs, so small cat is too scared to come up even if I shut my bedroom door.
