Is it safe to let your Puddy-cat sleep in your bedroom? I don't mean because of disease.Not bothered!?

Question

But, If he gets in the bed, is there a chance of crushing the poor little thing if I turn over?
He's a tiny all-black cat (with no tail.NOT MY FAULT) and he loves to see what I am doing.
Is it safe to let him sleep on the bed?

Hey Amosunknown,
I know what you mean! I'm not a "cat man" at all.And it's a long and complicated story about how I rescued this little feller!
BTW he's not a kitten. he's fully grown,but still tiny,possibly losing his tail stunted his growth.

Another BTW,
I put Puddy-cat because Yahoo don't allow *****-cat.

Answer 2

Oh my goodness, Rebecca, at any age! The thing about cats being jealous of new babies or covering their heads and smothering them has absolutely no basis in fact. There was a wonderful little article in Family Circle or Woman's Day a year or two ago. A cat was featured because he had won an award. A mother of a new baby (under 3 months) was working in her kitchen one day. Her baby was asleep in its room, and she had a monitor on. Suddenly she heard a terrible, hair-raising howling through the monitor. She ran to the baby's room, and found the family cat up on the dresser right beside the monitor, making an unearthly distress howl right into the speaker. And in the crib she found her baby, cyanotic. The baby had aspirated some vomit and had a blocked airway. The cat realized the gravity of the situation and called for help. The mother gave CPR, called 911, and the baby survived. But only because of the cat. I really could tell you story after story about cats saving households, alerting to trouble or danger, etc. My own cat wakened me to a prowler one night by jumping up on the bed and nipping lightly at my eyelids with his gentle, wee front teeth. Cats are territorial animals, and when they live with you, they consider your home their territory. And you and your family are their everything. They may not show it; differing personalities express this bond differently. But they know every little nook and cranny of their territory as you will never know it. They are acutely aware of normal, and they are profoundly bonded to you and your family. And so, they know when something is not right. And because whatever is wrong lies within their territory, if it is critical, they will alert to it. You have nothing to fear from your cat. He isn't going to do anything to hurt that baby. He knows that you love the baby, and your cat loves you and has already accepted your son. If it would make you feel better, you maybe should call the vet. But I'm sure he would tell you it's okay.

Answer 3

I have had cats all of my life and I have three and a toy poodle right now. All four sleep in the bed with me . I make sure that they have their shots and flea treatments and I change the bed linens weekly.

Believe me - your Puddy-cat will move out of the way if he thinks he going to be crushed.

If I'm having a bad night and start tossing and turning, my pets will jump out of the bed and go into the living room and congregate on the love seat until I wake because I start missing them.

Soon your Puddy-cat and you will start having the same kind of relationship.

Answer 4

I must admit I have always let my pets sleep on the bed, both dogs and cats and many years ago, one of my female dogs who had puppies used to put them on the bed also and one of the youngsters, when I woke up the next morning was dead. I can only assume that it was suffocated because the mother had put it inside the covers or that I had crushed it. So, I would say, yes, have the little thing ON the bed, but do discourage it from going in, though I know this can be hard.

Answer 5

My cat Sid is 12 and has always slept next to me. He sleeps like a person with his head on the pillow and the duvet over him! Sometimes he snores and I have to nudge him a bit and sometimes he nearly suffocates me and he always takes up more than his fair share of space!! But I can't sleep properly if he's not there cos I'm always subconsiously missing something.

My other two sleep on the end of the bed!


BTW I do have a partner and he doesn't mind sharing his bed with three cats! You just need a kingsize bed!

Answer 6

Keep laying the cat on your pillow, eventually the cat will realize that is where it is supposed to lay. I wouldn't let it sleep right beside you.. Maybe at the foot of the bed.
Use your own judgment. You could get a little kitty bed and keep it in the bedroom or on the bed.

Answer 7

Oh for heavens sake you are no less of a man because you like your cat!! Put an extra pillow on your bed and let your cat sleep on that, when this little fella starts sleeping on top of you, accept that as the highest compliment from your Puddy cat because he is saying, "Your mine and I love you!!"

Answer 8

The puddy-cat will be fine on your bed and move before you can crush it. I grew up with 4 cats and now have 2 and it's never been a problem.

Answer 9

I've had cats sleep with me for years, and it seems that my subconcious always knows just where they are. If you "sleep like the dead", there might be a problem of you turning over and smashing the cat. If he's a kitten, you need to be sure he has a safe place to sleep.....next to your bed....on a pillow at your head.....etc. If you're afraid for the life of the cat.....don't chance it! Good luck.

Answer 10

I am 46 years old and have enjoyed my feline pets my WHOLE LIFE. (Okay, I am not a crazy cat-lady, I just mean that I have always had a cat). Yes, I have had some who like to sleep in bed with me, and there has been a time or two that I have rolled over onto one, but no harm done, they just woke up, gave me a dirty look (like cats are famous for doing) moved over and went back to sleep.

Some have slept under the covers, some over. Some at my feet, and my current 'baby' sleeps with her head on my pillow. It is our favorite time together, she loves being close to me and I benefit from the purring (doctors say it lowers ones blood pressure).

Hope this helps.
