It’s well-known that cats love their sleep. After all, they don’t call it a “cat nap” for nothing!

Your bed may not be the place of rest and relaxation that you’d hoped for, but if you’re a cat lover, you’ll put up with almost anything just to be able to cuddle up with your furry friend.

Take a look at the infographic below for some of the pros and cons of sleeping with your cat. These funny feline sleeping habits are sure to make you laugh. — Global Animal

You are correct. They are very relaxing and demanding, I might add. However, I am being properly trained by my new master.

In reality, I think she keeps my blood pressure down as she causes me to relax.

I have a Korat that was my Father's before he passed away.

A kitten stray (abandoned) we took in we orignally thought was a Russian Blue. We went through the whole vet ritual of fixing and shots without asking the vets opinion on the bread.

The cat had some strange quarks and I googled "crazy russian blue cat." Most of the images looked like ours. Started reading the links and got the vets opinion on the bread. Yep, it was a Korat.

The "insane beast" is an apt description. Really watch the tail motion for clues.

No kidding!
When Jonesy sleeps in my armpit (God help him), his tail just goes batsh*t crazy tickling my ribs.

I have found that, when sleeping with a cat on a mattress, that sometimes that cat begins to expand and gets larger. Sometimes so large there is no longer any room on the mattress for me.

[Slings and Arrows]

Mine try to do that too. Luckily, I’m a stubborn cuss.

I have a lynxpoint siamese that is attached at the hip to me.

I am greeted at the door when I got home with excessive meows, rolling around on the floor.

Followed from room to room, and eventually glued to my lap.

When she wants to sit on me, there’s no stopping it. I once put her down on the floor a dozen times in 5 minutes.

Becoming attached to them. Does that make me less a man?

You describe textbook symptoms of a Taxoplasmosis gondi infection. But fear not, the symptoms are entirely treatable... by adding more cats to your home.

My cat loves my electric blanket.

[Slings and Arrows]

Guess she didn’t get the memo about cats being aloof.

Shot with a very fast camera, no doubt.

That is one of my cats specialities. I call it the “furry heart attack jump of death”.

Cats can defy the laws of physics too. For instance one single 10 pound cat can occupy nearly 75% of a Queen sized bad forcing its two full sized adult servants to sleep in the remaining 25% of the bed.

” I think she keeps my blood pressure down as she causes me to relax.”

That’s a known fact!

A relief to know I wasn't the only one this has happened to!

Just give them the bed, then go downstairs and sleep on the couch. It’s easier than trying to sleep while holding on to the bedside table so you won’t fall on the floor.

[Veto!]

I put the potted plants out on the porch at night; kittie sleeps with me.

[azishot]

Happens with dogs, too :>)
