It's a topic so divisive that it has been known to be a significant factor in choosing a spouse: Do you let your pet sleep in your bed with you?
In some households, it's the norm. All pets are allowed everywhere, all the time. In others, it's no pets on any furniture, ever. But in many, the answer lies somewhere in between: Perhaps the cat or small dog is given a spot to snuggle, but the Great Dane has to remain on the floor.
Many factors come into play, of course. Some pet owners suffer from allergies and sleeping with a face full of fur only exacerbates them, or maybe they can't deal with the dirt a dog would track onto the duvet. But plenty of pet owners - and veterinary professionals - can't imagine drifting off to sleep without their kitty or Cocker Spaniel cuddled up nearby.

And I, you Gefn. But yesterday was just too much for me.
“Since Holly died I’ve been sleeping with my teddy bear, I can’t tell you how much I miss that fuzz ball. I can’t stand it most nights. I don’t mind being single. I just miss my kitty so much sometimes it’s horrible,”
Oh, you need another cat! And quickly! Find a six week old brother/sister Manx duo. You won’t regret it.
Humans with pets tend to wind up with micro-livestock associated with those pets when they culture the samples swabbed from their mouths. :’) Thanks Slings and Arrows.

How do you deal with the howling all night?
I’m getting my apartment cleaned up and fixed up to bring in a new kitty.
New carpets, new paint, etc. it will be about July, but it’s all free work, so I’m not complaining. Landlord was waiting for the weather to warm up to do it.
I’m hesitant about the landlord putting in new Venetian blinds. The old ones are half off from the cat getting caught in them
Never known anyone to have a Manx kitty. They are tailless, right?
Great pic, awesome looking dog you’ve got there.
My cats can go anywhere but the kitchen counters,,, when Im around that is..
My cat seems to like to put its haunches in my face. Not the smellier region (thank goodness) but definitely the hindquarters.
Our bedroom has a door on it. In fact Bob the cat insists on sleeping in the basement with his cat box with that door closed. He likes to cuddle occasionally but is totally not interested in sleeping with anyone. Dogs have two barriers between them and us.
I’ve got cats. There is no “let.”
That is just too funny. My grandson rescued a kitty that was taken away from her mother long before she was weaned. Been five years now but she still jumps up on the bed, grabs a corner of the blanket in her mouth and then starts the same back and forth front paw activity as if she were nursing. She can keep it up for what seems like hours until it drives me crazy and off the bed she must go.
Sorry to hear it. You’re removed.
“Never known anyone to have a Manx kitty. They are tailless, right?”
Yes. Sometimes called the “dog cat” because the males can be so dog-like in the way they want to follow you around and be involved in everything that’s going on. Pay close attention and communicate with them early on and and they can learn to be quite talkative too.
Eeew.
That dog has a glazed look in his eyes.
This winter there were a lot of three dog nights.
Coldest I recall in 30 some years.
Lol. Ok, you win.
I have a set of steps here for when my dogs get old.
Actually it seems like when he farts it’s always aimed at me. I think it’s because he loves me. I think.
Is that your opus? Buried in a dog thread?
