Usually when Persia sleeps with me (which is about 85% of the time) she
curls into my side. Last night I went to turn over and she was at the end
of the bed, sleeping between my feet. She doesn't normally do that. I'm
glad I realized she was there, otherwise I might have kicked her off the
bed! (It's happened before but not in a couple of years.)

Do your owners sleep with you? Do they have their favourite sleeping
spots?

Yup. Agatha (smaller sister of Edgar) sleeps in her own bed in our bedroom,
spending half the night doing her nails (or so it sounds).

LOL She's a princess. Must have her own bed.

Edgar (bigger brother of Agatha, same litter) used to sleep next to my wife.
Lately he has become clingy, and insists on lying curled into me when I am
reading in bed. All attempts to send him back to my wife's bed are futile.
He goes over, sniffs, and comes back to my bed. When I turn the light off he
gets off the bed, goes to have a snack, and comes back to my wife's side,
where he sleeps until morning.

Edgar sounds clever! Hmmm, do I want to be with the human who is awake
and might give me scritches while he's reading? Or the human who is
asleep and won't pet me? I'm not ready to go to sleep yet, even if I
pretend I am.

Persia usually has a snack right after I turn the light off. I hear her
crunching. Then she'll go to the litterbox. I keep a nightlight
burning by the bathroom sink so she (and I!) can see if we need to get
up. Sometimes she doesn't join me immediately. Then as I'm drifting
off to sleep she comes up the pet-steps and whomp! onto the mattress.
She startles me. LOL I pet her and say "sleepybye". She curls into me
and at least pretends to sleep. She's comfortable, that's for sure. I
love having her sleep next to me.

The only time she gets on the other side of the bed is when she wants to
wake me up in the morning. I often turn over towards that side of the
bed around 6AM. She'll move to that side so she can look at my face.
And she waits. She's gauging just how soon I'll wake up. Or how soon
to *wake* me up. Waiting to tap my nose with a fuzzy little paw. If I
open my eyes for a split second, the purr motor revs up.

She's so sweet! She does know I'm not getting up that early. I hear
her get down in the wee hours and eat more kibble.
