Cat has decided to sleep on my bed - READ OP'S UPDATE BEFORE RESPONDING *Edited by MNHQ*

[mumsandaunties]

I have an eleven year old female, who has never really been particularly friendly, and has never, ever slept on my bed….or even jumped on the bed wanting attention or when I’m offering dreamies. Never..in eleven years…until the day before yesterday.

She spent the day on my bed. I even took photos to send to my family it was so unusual. Evening on the couch as normal. Then the night, back on my bed.

Yesterday, same again. This morning she woke DH up at 5:30 by sleeping on his chest! Right now she’s cuddled close to me in the bed.

She doesn’t seem unwell. It’s just so bizarre I don’t quite know what to make of it.

Anyone got any ideas?

So sorry to see your sad news OP. It sounds like grumpy cat had a wonderful life as part of your family and found comfort being with you at the end, bless her ❤️

I'm so sorry, @mumsandaunties - she was a beauty! Sending love to you and your DD x

I would like to go that way. Sorry for your loss, she was beautiful.

OP, what a shame, it shows you knew her very well and knew something wasn't normal, she did too and like you, I'm glad it was painless for her. I'm sorry, she looks adorable and it's always sad when you lose them.

I’m so sorry, OP. But how comforting that your most recent memories of her will be of her enjoying your company and sharing your bed x

So sorry OP for your loss. What an absolute beauty she was. Thankful it was quick and she didn’t seem to suffer. It was kind of you to let her get the comfort she needed at that time. She must have known how loved she was, and is.

So sorry for your pain and loss …. 😞 she was clearly loved and a dear member of your family.

Aww what a lovely kitty, I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s so tough when you lose a furry friend. ((hugs for you))
