This is yet another one where it really had depended on the cat, and my little guy right now will hop up and get his pets, but he never actually sleeps in the bed, which is probably for the best. I think it might be because of me, too, though. I tend to roll around and swing my arms and legs and he is probably scared I will shove him off, and for all I know I have done this before. My last car would frequently sleep in the bed, but usually on the end and not next to us. I bet that this is one area where it varies a lot with the people and their circumstance, but it is interesting to think about. Thanks for sharing.
