_My_ cats are green

Frank and Lyle are big fans of bio-thermal heat.

Anytime I lay down, even for a few minutes to watch tv/dvd, they are there
huddled against me in a few moments. Their radar ears and digital signal
processor can detect a person getting onto a bed at 100 meters.

My Frank always used to appear in bed within minutes after I'd gone to
bed, whether for a daytime nap or to sleep for the night. The current
ones don't appear as quickly, but they're always there, sleeping, in the
morning when I wake up.

Mine, too - although it depends upon the heat of the room how soon they
appear. I find a warm furry body curled up on me HELPS me to sleep, but
I recently read an article that advised banishing pets from your bedroom
in order to improve sleep. How do you guys feel about that?

Isn't it amazing just how observant cats are? Especially given their
unparalleled ability to totally ignore us.

I guess it would be worth a try if you were having trouble sleeping.

I find I get to sleep better when everyone is where they 'belong' and
that includes Molly on top of my feet. Its just right, even if it
isn't the most comfortable choice for either of us.

At least for myself, I don't agree. I don't have problems sleeping and
would let the cats stay even if I did.

It depends. Usually I let my cats sleep with me because I enjoy their
company. Sometime during the night, Roxy will climb on me for a little
purry cuddle-fest. I can't say they help me sleep better, though. In
fact, they often interrupt my sleep with various requests - Smudge will
stand at the window and yowl, which means she wants to go outside. If
it's close enough to morning, I get up and let her out. Sometimes Licky
will stand on the floor yowling, for no reason that's obvious to me.
But if I turn on the light to see what's going on, I see that he's
standing there with one of his toys on the floor in front of him. He
wants me to get up and throw it for him! How can I get mad at that??
(But no, I don't oblige him!)

If I really need to get a good night's sleep, I'm afraid I do banish
the cats from the bedroom. The honest truth is that I sleep a lot better
without them there, but I also miss them.

Mine don't bother me during the night. Whether they come to bed before
or after I've fallen asleep, they just curl up beside my legs. OK,
Miranda likes to walk all over me and knead and purr, but she comes to
bed soon after I've lain down, so I'm still awake then. I quite like my
evening massage combined with purr therapy. Very relaxing. Caliban
usually comes to bed later, but he always curls up quietly and goes to
sleep. And they are still asleep in the morning when I wake up.

I find my cats help me to relax. Their purrs are wonderful. The most the
do in the night is walk all over me. The one that wrote the article about
banishing cats from your bedroom, must not have any. Sort of like the
person who wrote all those articles about "the golden years" must have been
all of 21 years old.

I'm quite fortunate- I have never had to ban the Fabulous Furballs
from the bedroom but by and large they seem to have banned
themselves. yes when I get into bed, Sarsi (and sometimes Dunzi) will
climb up for a skritchie and maybe even doze off on top of me for a
bit but then they go to their favourite sleeping places once we;re
both asleep. Sarsi likes Dave's chair and Dunzi likes the sofa so
when I get up in the morning they're usually both sound asleep on
those but even if they chose to stay in the bedroom then Sarsi prefers
the top of the bookcase and Dunzi likes the table by the window.
Sometimes in the night if I am awake I hear them going off to their
boxes or the food dish and if I am awake about 5am they're usually
awake as well so I might skritchie them (I've heard waking up early
is a symptom of depression? I've always done it and I quite like it-
first of all it feels like I am getting a bit of a lie-in because I
don't have to get up just yet, secondly I find it very peaceful, Dave
asleep next to me (remember not so long ago I was waking up without
him next to me), the streets are quiet. I usually remind myself what I
need to do today, skritchie any cat within distance then settle down
and go back to sleep) occasionally we have the impression a herd of
stampeding wilderbeest have invaded the house and sometimes they
bounce off our heads but on the whole they let us sleep
