Do you let your cats sleep in the room with you?

I used to let my cat sleep with me, but once I adopted another one and we moved into a new apartment. I decided it would be best to just let the cats have the living room because I knew they would be competing on who gets the rooms/closets. Plus I was worried the newer cat would pee in here, possibly.

Anyways, we just kind of stuck with not letting them sleep in here at night, just in the day. I feel kind of bad sometimes because they love being close to us, but it saves me from having allergies as bad. Plus, one of my cats gets SUPER cocky so my hubby and I have to check her sometimes.

It's funny because my husband is a Leo.... so we call him "top cat," and the cats know that he's dominant. They will try to take advantage of me ALL DAY, but when he's around; they back off. Kind of cracks me up.

She used to do the whole "come at me, bro" movements with my man when we first started living together, it was hilarious. I wish I would have video taped it. Such a dorky cat. hahahaha

I take care of a rat terrier for a relative of mine that went senile, and he sleeps in bed with me.
He could be lying in his dog bed fast asleep, but if he hears me heading to my room to go to bed, he'll wake up and run to the room ahead of me. I don't know why being the first one to jump in bed is such a big deal to the dog.

My cat sleeps on the couch or on top of the pile of dirty laundry in the laundry basket.
The animals have the run of this place. I'm just their domestic staff that feeds them and cleans up after them.

I take care of my mom's cats a couple days a week. They are so obnoxious that occasionally I have to lock them out of the part of the house where I sleep at night. They just want to rip and run up and down and wrestle. I'm always afraid they are going to disturb the person next door as well.

If I a not on the bed, and not busy at something, I let them sleep in my lap sometimes, but no pets are allowed on the bed.
