To ask if your pet sleeps on your bed?

[Cow90]

I don't mind my cat sleeping on my bed at all, but sometimes in the night she'll jump on my stomach and wake me up, or will lick my face to check I'm still alive!
This morning I evicted her at around 4am because she'd jumped on my stomach or back at least 4 times! As I say I'm happy for her to sleep there but I can't have the disturbed sleep long-term. Anyone else?

Two years ago, he slept in his bed in the sitting room.
A few weeks in, he started sleeping on the sofa.
After a few months, he moved to sleep outside my bedroom door.
For his safety and mine, he then was allowed to sleep in his bed on the bedroom floor.

Theoretically that is still where he sleeps. It is a rare morning when I wake up without him on the bed.

So, yeah. Best laid plans.

Same here (4 year old cockapoo)

My old dog never slept on my bed, but after we lost him, I got a puppy and he just didn’t settle being downstairs on his own. He sleeps on his side, and luckily is a silent sleeper, so he rarely wakes me up.

No. She has her own spaces in the living room (all over the house). We close doors to the rooms with soft furnishings when we go out. She is very vocal 🤣and if she wants pets she let's us know. She doesn't come on the sofas

Ddog sleeps on the bed as he wairs for me to wake up, when in his own bed he would come and waken me too early. The cat has to be shut downstairs as he tends to sit on your head at 4 AM.

Yes. Our cat does allow us to share her bed.

Cats are an absolutely not a chance in hell, but the dog does occasionally 😂

The cats are pretty much nocturnal and will not allow us to sleep if they are allowed upstairs. I’ve given up trying!

The dog will curl up at the end of the bed or go in his own bed on the floor and is no bother!

Yes, he does. He's a needy little Shih Tzu and I'm single, so it doesn't matter. He doesn't shed hair, so not toooo unhygienic, and it was the only way I could get a decent night's sleep when he was a puppy!
He's nearly 10, so I can't change it now. And actually, I would miss the sound of his gentle snorts and snores.
I love my dog

I’ve two ‘indoor’ dogs, one is 12 and one is 3. The old boy is allowed to sleep on our bed, but is getting to feel his age more and more these days and often opts to move to his bed at the foot of ours, where he won’t get jostled in the night. It’s annoying as fuck having him in our room let alone on our bed but he’s far too old to change now! He doesn’t moult or anything but the fidgeting drives me insane. The youngster has a crate downstairs… not falling into that trap again!!

Yes, the cat sleeps on my husbands pillow and won't budge.

My dog sleeps on his bed in his bedroom or under the duvet with me, which I absolutely love, even if he wakes me up.

I shut my cat out of my bedroom at all times (and always have, through multiple cats) so I get it. But the sofa doesn’t bother me and we curl up on it together. She doesn’t go on the kitchen counters, but that’s because she’s a lazy arse with short legs so I’ve never had to try to teach her. Other cats I’ve had have done it (no door on my kitchen) and I just disinfected before any food prep.

Our dog usually sleeps in the lounge.

Except the 2 days a week dh is away for work, then he sleeps with me.

He knows the difference. If I say "bedtime" when dh is here he takes himself off to his chair in the lounge, but if dh isn't here he bounds up the stairs and is settled on our bed before I can finish the word.

Really confused him on Thursday night when I went to bed before dh got in from the cinema with ds. He really wasn't best pleased to be shooed off downstairs at 11:30pm!

Mine wake me up when I've got a cold and my breathing upset them especially if I sleep too deeply otherwise it's a 6am wake up for breakfast my alarm goes off at ten past six anyway so it's no big deal

Our pets are allowed everywhere

Yes, my 9 year old Westie is my companion of choice
We both sleep better, and he tucks himself in behind my knees( side sleeper)
I wouldn't have it any other way

Yes 2 cats sleep on the bed with us and without us!

No down to one cat now (lost two elderly ones within 3 months of each other) but OH is allergic to cats, downstairs he can keep far enough away from cat that it doesn't bother him, but in the bed would be too much and I don't want to sleep in a bed with fur on the bedding much as I love the stripy little monster

Our dogs don’t go on the furniture or upstairs. Each to their own though.

My dogs don't go in bedrooms let alone on the beds.

My dog sleeps at the foot of my bed. He has his own blankets to sleep on so I chuck them in the wash most days to keep it all fresh
hes a broken coated terrier so doesn’t really shed. I couldn’t be arsed to have hair in my bed

No. Dog - cocker spaniel - sleeps in her bed in the kitchen

I had this problem with my cat until I got an automatic feeder. It pops open at 5am and my little darling doesn't wake me ☺️

My Lhasa apso sleeps on my bed. I love having her there, hearing her little snores and sighs is so comforting.

My dog sleeps on and in my bed. Keeps me warm.
