Where do your owners sleep?

[jmcquown]

95% of the time Persia sleeps with me *at night*. In the mornings after
breakfast she joins me in the living room, where the computer is. She
curls up in the sunshine but is always in a position to watch anything
interesting out the window. When the sunny spots gradually disappear,
as they are wont to do, she'll nap (off and on) on the bed in the guest
bedroom.

She *never* sleeps on my bed during the day... I don't know why. I
wouldn't object to it. She simply won't get up on that bed unless I'm
in it (or changing the sheets, of course!).

Where do your owners like to sleep?

The Princess Rita has her own room, with her own bed, and she sometimes sleeps in there. She also has a little round bed at the foot of my big bed (on the floor), and I catch her in there some mornings. Sometimes I wake up and she's snuggled next to me. She also has two different cat trees in the living room and one in the bedroom, and she spends time on all of them. Wherever I am, she has to be, most of the time. If I'm watching tv or sewing or playing on the computer, she's in the living room. If I'm in 'her' room on the piano, she's curled up on her bed. If I'm in my bedroom, she's usually either on my bed or in her little bed.

We have this routine, every single morning. I get up and go off to the showers. She curls up in the warm spot I just left. I come back, and pull the covers up over her, then flip them back down so she can crawl out and get onto the top of the covers. (I have to make the bed every morning, because I don't want *that* much fur on the sheets!). For the record, she complains bitterly about this. Every. Single. Morning. Then, while I'm getting dressed, if I try to pet her while she's curled up by my pillows, she attacks and scratches me. My right hand is all covered with healing scratch marks, because Rita is mighty cranky in the morning. That's the ONLY time she ever scratches me. If ever a cat needed a morning pickmeup.....!

Pretty much anywhere, although they both spend a fair amount of time on
my bed (on top of me, at night). Lately Melisande has taken to
occupying the space behind the toilet in the bathroom. I've no idea why
- I thought there might be a leak, and she was using the pipes as a
water source, but everything there seems perfectly dry. I usually know
where she is, even if she's out of sight - she snores! (Dunno whether
it's due to age, or whether Arizona's dry climate affects her nasal
passages the same as it does mine.)

Mine usually sleep on the foot of my bed at night. Occasionally, Waffles
will come up and cuddle next to me for a while.

During the day, they usually sleep on the living room floor or on my bed.
Waffles will occasionally take a nap on the couch, and both of them (though
not at the same time) sometimes nap in my recliner.

Since I've been working from home for the last half a year, actually a
little more, I can see more how they spend their days. Mostly in my
room. Sometimes all of them on the bed, sometimes on the perches in the
bedroom window which faces east south-east so it gets sun most of the
day. On rainy days they sleep all day in various places. Sometimes on
the cat trees, sometimes the dining room chairs. So basically the only
thing in common from day to day is the sleeping most of the day. :)

Only Rhett and/or Shamrock sleep in my bed during the night. But come
morning they're all there to wake me up.

Roxy sometimes likes to sleep on top of me. Occasionally I roll over and
she falls off, but it's not that big a deal. She usually gets back up once
I'm settled. One time, I must have been too close to the edge of the bed
when I turned over, and she started to fall of the bed as well as off of
me. So she dug her claws into the nearest thing - my bare arm - to hold
on, which of course didn't work, and only left a long scratch. I barely
remember it happening, but when I woke up, I saw the scratch. People were
asking me about it for a couple of weeks.

For some reason Boyfie usually sleeps downstairs during the night in the
armchair I have recently vacated even though he has access to his "own
bedroom and duvet" at all times.
In the daytime if he wants a nap he usually goes to his bedroom.
Interestingly, even if my bedroom door is open by accident during the day,
he never goes in there and sleeps on my bed, he ignores the temptation and
goes to his own.
He went in there only once and he saw a very brave tabby & white chap in
there that was bopping him back. As much as he fought this interloper
(which was himself in a full length mirror) it just fought him back.
So he decided his own bedroom was probably best.

I have heard that most animals cannot see themselves in a mirror (chimps
can) but he certainly could. I had only 2 dogs that could do this and one
of those definitely could see animals on the TV screen.
When Daisy saw bears or wolves on the telly, all her hackles would go up and
she would bark at the screen. For wolves she would go behind the TV to see
if she could find them, but for bears she always decided against it. Just
in case there was really one there.
I absolutely know that she could see and interpret images that were of
interest to her. None of my other dogs (even my most, most, beloved two)
could do it so I'm not saying it because of that.
If she saw polar bears on the screen she went crazy and I had to switch it
off.

Shamrock uses the mirror for surveillance. My bed headboard has a
mirror and I often see him looking in the mirror to watch what's going
on in the room. I'm pretty sure he knows it isn't a different room that
he can't get into.

Speaking of TV and animal shows, I had to stop watching My Cat from Hell
on Animal planet because the screaming cats upset mine.

Christina Websell wrote:

Every cat I've had could see him/herself in the mirror. Of course, they
didn't always *recognize* the image as themselves, and neither did Boyfie,
apparently. Chimps can look in a mirror and understand that they are
looking at their own reflection. Isn't that great? Scientists used to
believe that only humans could do that. I'm sure some other animals can
recognize themselves, but I don't know how much research has been done
on it. I'd be willing to bet that dolphins would figure that out. Some
cats figure out that the "cat" in the mirror is either not real, or
completely inaccessible and unable to hurt them, so they ignore it.

When Licky was a kitten, he used to stand in front of the mirror and
pummel his image with his two front paws in a rapid "scratching" motion.
Eventually he would get bored and walk away. Now he does it very rarely.
It's always amusing when he does.

Both of mine have a variety of "favorite" places. They sleep with me at
night a large percentage of the time--sometimes just one of them and
sometimes both. For several years after I adopted Duffy, Holly would not
let him on the bed when I was on it. She did not care if he got on the bed
as long as I was elsewhere. In time, she mellowed, and now I will often
find one of them stretched out *on top* of me and the other tucked in beside
me. At other times of the day, they both have places they head for, and it
often depends on where I am because they tend to sleep in the same room
where I am working/reading/computing/etc. Each of them also has a space on
top of a sofa *back* where they curl up so often that the sofa has an
indentation that conforms to their little bodies. Duffy also has has
sunbeam--he sleeps on a mat in front of the sunroom door whenever the sun is
shining onto that spot (glass door). Duffy can often be found sleeping on
one of the beds on the cat tree. He is still a little gymnast and loves to
climb, then he will eventually curl up at the top or middle section of the
cat tree. Holly has always been my little "shadow cat" or "velcro
kitty"--wherever I am, she will be very close by. However, she was not a
lap cat when she was younger. She would be on the arm of the chair I was
using, or perched beside the computer keyboard, or some similar place. As
she has gotten older (she will be 18 on June 1), she has started spending
more and more time curled up in my lap or "perched" on my chest--which makes
reading or watching TV very difficult!

Holly definitely looks at herself in the mirror. The thing that really
intrigues me is how she will watch motion on the computer monitor and will
sometimes reach out to it with one paw. Of course, she's very close to
it--as soon as I sit down to the computer, she hopes up and sits on the
pull-out tray beside the keyboard. She usually is facing me and will often
lie down with her body on the keyboard tray and let both front legs dangle
down and rest on my leg. But if there is a lot of motion (and sometimes
sound) on the computer, she will turn around and start watching the monitor.

LOL! I remember once when I was watching a PBS program about feral
cats, with Patches on the couch beside me. I heard a hiss from
him,looked over to see him with tail bushed, in full attack mode, and
grabbed him just as he was launching himself at the TV to join in the
fray! (Dunno what those cats were saying to each other, but he

Some "scientists" used to believe that the "lower" animals didn't feel
pain like we do, either! (Ignoring the fact that they all possess
nervous systems, presumably with pain receptors.) I stopped eating
lobster, when I learned they cook the poor critters by boiling them alive!

Anyone who has lived with "companion animals" knows that they are far
more intelligent than some scientists give them credit for being. (And
humans aren't the only animals with "self awareness" or the ability to
reason - our fellow critters demonstrate that every day, if we'd only look.)

Shamrock doesn't like Bonnie on the bed and I don't think he's ever
going to mellow out about it. She's started anticipating it and as soon
as he looks at her funny she heads for the stairs by the bed to hightail
it out of there.

When Bonnie was fairy new here I scared the bejesus out of her one time
when she was looking in the mirror at me, then she must have heard me

People who train dogs and horses and other animals get much better
results than the theoretical scientists predict they will. That is
partly because trainers are not burdened by the idea that they should
not anthropomorphise animal behavior. If it looks as if the animal
feels a certain way about things, it is very likely that the animal
does feel that way about that thing and it is a very good idea to take
it into account.

The late Vicky Hearne wrote that the people who got the worst results
in animal training courses were the behavioral scientists. Since she
was both an academic and a trainer she could see both sides and she
thought people who worked with animals knew more than people who
theorized about them.

I was thinking more specifically because WooToo is always on the bed
if I am and she is sleeping. Her little trips to the food bowl, the
water and the necessities aside, she is on the bed. She sleeps about
half the time stretched out in front of me, with her paw wrapped
around my thumb. But we know who is under whose thumb. The rest of the
time, she alternates two spots, behind my shoulderblades and behind my
calves.

When I'm not in bed and she wants to sleep she sometimes sleeps on the
bed and the rest of the time stretched out by the computer chair or in
the computer chair.

Have you ever read Jeffrey Masson? He writes a lot of books about animals,
including cats (The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats is definitely worth
reading). In his books he says essentially the same thing you're saying,
which is that animal behavior science is hampered by the fear of being
accused of anthropomorphizing the study subjects. There is considerable
shame in that, apparently, at least in front of the scientific community.

I agree 100% when it comes to mammals. They have the same emotions we do.
Reptiles, not so much. But they *do* have emotions, just fewer of them.

Edgar is a big cat (11 lbs) and he is also a very LONG cat. And while
Agatha sleeps curled up like a little ball, he likes to stretch out sort of
luxuriously. Even when he does not, and he has his legs and tail close to
him, he takes up quite a bit of space. But he always sleeps on the inner
side of the bed (close to my wife's bed) so my exit to the bathroom is not
