9 Scientific Reasons Why Your Cat Sleeps With You

[@ThePurringJournal]

Does your cat sleep with you? 🐈💤

[@spencerhonda7445]

Yes! 💞🐱

[@lesleywarnock228]

Out of my 3 12 yr old rescues, my girl Etta sleeps with me every night, the 2 boys take shifts. Each night when I come to bed though, all 3 come in as if to say good night & get some pets ❤ to Buster, my elderly Mum (almost 85 & now bedridden) she is his person in a BIG way 🥺 he sits with her for every meal & every night he sleeps with her. James also will come in during the night & sleep with me. I'm so blessed with them. I rescued them at the absolute worst time in my life & in turn they saved it. ❤

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Yep!

[@montanacrone8984]

Sometimes. I have 2 cats, they heat-mooch the bed. They come and go at their mood. One loves to sleep on top of the armoire (on his pillow)so he can see the room. They like an early breakfast so they like to make sure I’m up to feed them at 0400!

[@derekcopland7507]

They both do. I just posted a comment and a question I could use some help with please? Thanks.

[@johnallen6945]

At age 72 and after 3 kids and a 40-year marriage I found myself divorced. I moved 2000 miles away and bought a 36' camper to live in but I was a bit lonely. I adopted 2 3-month old feral kittens which I named Nadine and Shariff. They hid in the closet at first and wouldn't come near me. After a few weeks they started jumping up on my lap. Now, a month later they sleep with me at night. I must bust out laughing 10 times a day at their antics. They are bringing me so much joy and I don't feel at all lonely anymore.

I rescued my cat after she was abandoned in a shopping center parking lot in the evening. She held onto my arm with her head pressed into my bicep every night for many years. She still sleeps beside me but usually reaches out with a paw to make contact to make sure I am there. I saw a show on big cats in Africa and lions do pretty much the same thing.

[@lindahandley5267]

Thank you for saving her.😢

Shelby has to sleep right next to my head on the same pillow every night. At bed time, I use a fairly long pillow, and lay my head down on the one side of it. Then Shelby climbs up onto the other side, and starts purring like a little motorcycle for like 20 minutes. There’s no better way to fall asleep than to the sound and feel of a cats pur as you drift away into sleep.

There's nothing more endearing than a cat's love...Cats ARE NOT like dogs....When a cat loves you it's because they trust you, and with cats, it's because YOU'VE EARNED their trust. That says A LOT about YOU, the cat owner/parent. 💗

[@Adamestr]

Cats ARE like dogs, they love their owners because they trust you and you earned it hahaha.

[@BubbleGoose0613]

My sister adopted a cat for herself but somehow the cat became very attached to me. She would follow me everywhere, lay on me every chance she got, meow loudly if I closed my door without letting her in. Eventually I became like the sole caretaker of her and my sister basically gave her to me and now shes my cat and sleeps on top of me every night and is within like 5 feet of me at all times lol when I move away shes coming with me. I’m not sure why she took to me so strongly because I wasn’t the one who saved her from the shelter or even took care of her for the first few months after she was adopted but she became so attached to me that my sister just let me have her. Six years later shes still my bestie and I would die for her :)

[@bikecommuter24]

I believe cats pick their human, I was in the Air Force and a cat was at the firing range, he was a white with gray stripes and tail Turkish Van type cat he would only come for me, he was around 12 weeks old when the vet checked him out I had him for 17 years after that when I retired and moved to California he went with me.

[@bikecommuter24]

When I was growing up my Mom's cat had a calico Manx kitten and she named her Betsy it was 1976 in honor of Betsy Ross, Betsy bonded with me from day one, I fed her and played with her, she slept with me all the time in fact if I stayed up past my normal bed time she would go to my room and then come out and look at me as if to tell me "Its bed time" then she would go back to bed and then come and get me again. My Mom laughed about it "Your cat says its bedtime"

Hi @springtwig1150: The same thing has happened to me with my Kitty. She always sleeps my feet, then moved up to the side of my leg, then to the side of my stomach, and last night next to my head, with her head laying on my hand. I loved it and was so happy, but I think you may be right; it is getting colder at night.

[@toughbutsweet1]

I got my babies used to being moved when they were sleeping (usually to swaddle them or to scoot them over) so when they slept with me on the bed, I just moved them into the crook of my arm under the covers and they never looked back. Now they know they can just burrow in next to me when they are sleepy (which somehow happens to be exactly when I am).

Both our boys sleep with us. Not every single night. . .but most nights.

[@ameliarannestiggins2345]

I have a similar situation. It's daft but I don't want to upset the cat (usually Jasper) who is snuggled right next to me (he's a mummy's boy) by moving either myself or the cat. Consequently I end up with back ache and a bad night's sleep as I want to turn over but daren't. I end up at the edge of the bed with Jasper next to me and Otto at the end in the way of my feet. Morag, Jasper's sister will be on a blanket in the wardrobe or in a basket on top of the wardrobe. It's funny how we can make ourselves really uncomfortable with no bed space, where the cat/s have managed to commandeer a nice bit of prime bed space. All 3 are so loved.

Another wonderful video !! But, cats just don't love whoever feed them ! Most people just believe that you only have to feed dogs / cats to get trusted or loved by 'em. That's a myth !! Cats & dogs know sweet people & real animal lovers . They choose people ,too !! Sometimes they trust people who feed them ,you can gain the trusts by feeding . True. Especially if they're very hungry or strays . You can start that way to build a relationship. But,all of my life ,I've been seeing/ experiencing them choosing me over others who are their human companions ( I dislike " pets " &" owners " ) !! Lol. My dister's dog follows me home when they're walking her ,she even sleeps with me in my bed when we go on trips together ! Lol. Although she shares the room.Her husband feeds / walks her ,too ,but in the back seat of their car ,if I am sitting with him & their dog ,she chooses me & sits on my lap !! Lol. Stranger's dogs often wanna stay with me & they have to literally drag their dogs away from me !! At banks,Kinkos,coffee shops ,in the streets !!! Lol. Cats are the same !! My old neighbour's cat often tried to hop in my house & followed me around the blocks whenever I walked my dogs !! Lol. Not to mention ,I never fed the cat !! They really choose people !! They see right through us !! So,I just had to tell you & people here ! I am 58 years old & I had always been with animals since 0 old !! And I've seen this happening to me with animals almost all of my life ! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🐈🐕💕💞

I rescued an approx. one to two-year-old cat, that was found abandoned and pregnant (probably dumped shortly after it was born). I've had her 6 months now, she's been sleeping with me every single night since day one and is the sweetest. We're inseparable. She never gets angry, never brakes anything, never climbs on anything other than the bed and couch, never scratches a furniture other than her tree, she never scratches me accidentally or on purpose, even while playing, she never bites, never begs for food and loves belly rubs... She's absolutely purrfect! She follows me everywhere. We even take walks together, she follows me like a dog without a leach, it's so amazing! I know I'm very lucky to have such an incredible cat.

Six cats and a Boston Terrier. They tolerate each other only because of their shared human. They space each other within eyesight, often switching sleeping spots during the night, a kind of musical cats, except for one who dominates the foot end of the bed, even displacing the dog who is well aware that cats have claws. Nice of them to not tromp on my face until I'm aware, then the parade starts. Oh, the joy of kitty-ville! I put out heating pads in places they sleep, and for some reason, they avoid them unless it's really cold. No body wants to sleep under the blankets.

[@bettynewton6160]

I have 2 cats at the moment, and they both want to sleep with me most of the time, especially when it’s cold. But when it’s hot I don’t like it near as much, but they do, so I usually have to put them a little bit away from me where I can still pet or scratch them for a while. I don’t know why but they usually accept that and don’t try to get too close after I go to sleep. But I just love having them near me when I’m going to sleep. They like to help me when I’m using my laptop, and that doesn’t go over very well!

It needs to know that its food source doesn’t get too far away. That’s why it sleeps with you.

[@maxine-x4x]

Years ago[I] had a cat from _somewhere_ in the neighborhood begin showing up with regularity on my property ; repeatedly approaching the door with the intent on being permitted passage etc. ..finally, I relented and let it in. It was clear from the outset that this creature was *not* a stray, belonged to someone and was a household pet. The animal was by all outward appearances very healthy i.e., nutritional needs were being more than adequately met, it was well-groomed, and just overall looked to be in great shape. While I was careful not to feed it, .. _food_ that is, _not even a morsel_ (didn't wish to lure it away or alienate it from its owner nor could I afford, at that juncture in my life to take on the duties and responsibilities associated with ownership ), on the other hand, I was more than generous in the doling out of affection . Pretty soon this scene developed into a fairly predictable routine whereby this cat was paying nearly daily visits to my abode for reliable doses of comforting pets, hugs, scratches, etc. without the expectation of reward arriving in any other form It looked to me and others( a sibling and 2 friends who frequently stopped by ) in other words, we were in unanimous agreement in our observations that the cat was lacking in only one respect ..it was literally starving for the only kind of attention its primary care provider(s) was/were failing to deliver and that was interaction of a physical nature, loving play and closeness of the tactile variety Who knows what was going on in the alternate household during this time-frame.. perhaps it had once been populated by a figure or figures who had, not only possessed the desire but, also the time to devote to this now ''emotionally'' neglected or deprived member of the family ...it could be a suddenly solitary ''empty-nester''; adult children having flown the coop, who hasn't the inclination and/or wherewithal to relate to the animal on this level nevertheless feels obligated to continue providing for its basic needs Again , what did seem certain is that this cat headed out on a mission in search of the sort of nourishment that wasn't to be found in a trough or at the bottom of feeding bowl. Needless to say, the cat wasn't the only beneficiary, I had the best of both worlds..didn't have to lift a finger in service of the mundane chores that one would normally be called upon to perform, didn't have to spend a penny in sustenance outlay, instead I reaped only the rewards: companionship and stress reduction

My sister had a cat that didn't like it when the house was too crowded. Two kids, 3 other cats and a very active dog were in the house as well. The cat chose a house one street away were they were no other pets, nor kids. My sister was flabbergasted to see the cat sitting there in the window with a little bell on their collar, something it always got rid of when she put it on. The person who lived there said they knew it was not a stray cat, but that it continued to try and get attention from them and get in their house. They had turned the cat outside again and again and it was persistently getting back into their house. Both humans accepted the cats decision eventually. Though my sister was somewhat miffed the cat chose to live somewhere else, she could understand it. The cat had decided. 😊

My cat just come and snuggle up to me while I'm watching this video，I‘m so proud.😊

My female eventually comes to walk back and forth between my husband before finally settling down at the end of the bed or occasionally going back out to the living room with our male cat. Our male cat occasionally sleeps in the room with us but rarely on the bed more often he sleeps on the floor on top of my husband’s dirty clothes.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

We’re warm and soft, well, some of us are, and they love us. That’s reason enough why they sleep with us. Most of my cats have slept under the covers with me, usually curled against my tummy, very comforting for us both.

Greg the tuxedo is handsome. Tuxies are just fun cats to have and be around.

My beautiful fixed ginger male cat Oliver is a lone kitty wolf. He likes me and my friend Tera and that's it. Tera and I saved 3 kitties and their mom and since then Oliver ONLY goes around me and her.

[@dp4kallday]

My cats stay around me all day everyday. Every room i go to they follow and find their spot to just spend time with me. My cat that i adopted last year sleeps with me every night while my sll white cat occasionally will comr on the bed and sleep st the edge. Their favorite past time is looking outside. They do this for the majority of the day.

I am now a senior and my cat, like all the cats before him, sleep with me. I can't imagine it otherwise. My sister has a cat and she does not allow it on the bed. It sleeps in the living room. The cat rarely approaches my sister but when I come over, it always trots up to me. Something even my sister has commented on. Cats know.......

[@stephenshelton4267]

Mine rotates his sleeping habits. Sometimes he's exclusive to a bench on my screened porch, sometimes he sleeps on a chair in the living room, sometimes he sleeps on a box in my bedroom, and sometimes he sleeps on my bed. Whatever his preference is, it usually remains that way for a week to a month and then he changes it again.

[@alexl8864]

I used to have a cat. She was skittish and only spent time with her brother until he passed. Then I became her favorite. Even after I had to leave her with my sister because my place didn't accept pets, whenever I visited my cat would always choose to spend time with me over anyone else.

[@smthnew861]

Man, my cat loved to be the little spoon. Specially when i hugged her😄

[@elitapia1849]

I never was a animal person at all when my kids were growing up. Now i got a cat have had her since she was 6-8 weeks. My friend found her in her drive way. I love her and yes she sleeps on me on my head, my neck lol and my back. She wakes me up thru the night by licking my face and does not stop till i get up out of bed. I love her and i am so grateful my friend thought of me when she found her. Oh shoot i just realized i was on my husbands phone lmbo hes gonna love me for this 😂

This video is informative and heartfelt so thanks. We have a four year old classic Norwegian Forest Cat. I had him neutered one year ago and he put on a lot of fat. He came with a mate, a small grey tabby female who went missing August '23. I think Punken misses little Cheetah. He seems depressed. Punken constantly tries to lie on our laps or bellies and sleep in bed. He's big and heavy so that makes it hard for us to sleep. We've taken to shutting the door on him. Your information will help me arrange a cozy place for him.

I subscribed to your channel. I learned many things today from this videos. Thanks for sharing. I will be watching😊😊

0:10 cats picky about everything, BUT only according to their term, it often doesn't follow human logic at all. You can spend thousands for their comfy house/nest and scratch post, expensivevtoys etc. and yet they choose its package box to nap and the plastic bag for their toy. Only the laser pointer and catnip, have more than 50% chance of success for cat entertainment (a few of them still don't respond to laser or ignoring catnip).

[@sharronlynnparsons1161]

Very interesting. My two cats both want to sleep with me, but not at the same time, The first one I rescued, does not want to share me, when my first cat was about two years old, I adopted another four month old, it's a long story, but both are wonderful !!!

[@elizabethtruman7164]

We all cats together when sleeping ❤❤❤

[@jewelmarkess]

Yes. Just wanted to add - the cats in the video are all so adorable.
