My cats never get on my chest while I'm asleep, but that's only because
I never sleep on my back. Roxy often sleeps on either my hip (when I'm
on my side) or my lower back (when I'm on my stomach). I always wake up
in some amount of pain when she does it, so I probably shouldn't allow
her to, but it's so sweet that it's hard to kick her off.
