I have a ten pound cat, a 10 ounce kitten, and a queen size bed.
How come there's no room for me in it?

2. What I'd like to know
Is how a five pound cat can occupy twice as much space as a thirty pound dog. There's some obscure Dr. Who-ish law of physics operating here.

3. Well, they need the extra space
for their divine aura.

7. That one's SO easy!
The thirty pound dog knows you'll kick his ass out of bed as soon as he takes up an inch of extra space. The kitty knows that you'll cut the legs off your PJs before you'll disturb him. :shrug:

4. Because you only have ONE queen-size bed
You need at least 4 to have a fighting chance...

5. The size of the kitteh's is directly proportional to the size of the bed.

The bigger the bed, the bigger the kitteh.

Do not EVER, under any circumstances, get a king-sized bed.

You will be sleeping with a monster! :scared:

10. 18 pound cat,
king size bed, no room to sleep. He stretches from one side of the bed to the other. Ever try to move an 18 pound pudding with teeth and claws? You'll find somewhere else to sleep.

6. Try sleeping with
a 95 pound springer mix, a 65 pound cattle dog mix, and a 25 pound mystery puppy.

The puppy will be sleeping on your head. :o

8. It seems like you have no room because they hem you in. One
sleeps behind your knees, one near your chest and one by your head. If you are sleepy and need to pee, good luck.

12. That's what my kitties do to me.
Edited on Wed Jan-07-09 11:44 AM by Oregonian
The biggest one stretches out in my foot/calf region (of course he's always perpindicular to me, never parallel, so I wind up scrunching up my legs). My 16-year-old female often sleeps on my pillow, but I love that because her warm little body on the top of my head helps me sleep better. I love it when she uses my head for her own pillow. :loveya:

9. Wow - your cats let you sleep?
Mine just runs back and forth over our heads at around 4 am.

Or stands with her butt in our face while she knocks stuff on the nightstand onto the floor (like the alarm clock, water, etc)

Sometimes she does lay down, but within a few minutes, she's usually wrapped all four paws around a human arm, and has her teeth sunk deep into the fatty part of the hand at the base of the thumb.

At which point, she is frequently heaved out into the living room....

11. I have two 70 lb. dogs and no matter how much space they
have, they have to sleep on me. But the kitty is the problem...every morning at 5:30 she climbs the drapes in my bedroom, like clockwork!
