My kitty has slept in bed with us since she was a tiny kitten. The first night I brought her home, she managed to climb the bedspread and has been sleeping there ever since. Unfortunately, as an adult cat, she has her own ideas about which way she should position herself, preferring to lie perpendicular to my husband and myself, rather than parallel. She stretches right out, taking up more than a third of the bed, and if I so much as gently nudge her with my leg or foot, she'll give me a sharp nip. Enough of those in a row and I'll lose my temper and remove her from the bed. She will stomp off, only to return in a few minutes to drape herself across my leg as if to say, "I forgive you, silly human." Then she'll sleep that way for a while before resuming her former position as queen of the Serta. She sleeps on the big bed during the day as well, even though she has a nice cat bed of her own, which she actually loves, but the big bed is preferable, since that's where the people sleep and cats are cuddlers despite themselves. We have a fan with a flat top, positioned at the foot of the bed that blows on us during hot summer nights, and she has a love/hate relationship with that thing. She hates having it blow on her and will do just about anything to avoid that stream of air, but she loves to curl up on top of it while it's turned on, because it vibrates her right to sleep. I enjoy my rest much more when she's either curled up on top of the fan, or cuddling my husband's leg all night. When she picks me, I get much less sleep because she tolerates less from me than she does from 'dad'. I've had cats my whole life and she is his very first. She recognizes that I know better than to kick her in my sleep and will bite me. He can do the same thing and she'll let it pass. What a little stinker-ette.
