/an/, is there some big reason why I shouldn't let my cat sleep on my bed? I mean I can't exactly stop him since he does whatever the fuck he wants, but why do people freak out about it?

Now you've caught my curiosity, I didn't know people made a big deal about it.

Bump.

>why do people freak out about it?
Because of stupidity - long time ago, most of the animals were all dirty and diseased. And if it was so in the past - so should be today, as they think.
Also, some people, not necessarily stupid, hate fur on their beds, some care about some crazy pack hierarchy etc.

My roommate lets her cat sleep in her bed, but admits that it's kind of unclean--the cat routinely tracks litter all over the sheets. Not the most sanitary.

Depending on what kind of kitty litter you use, your cat may track it in your bed between his toes. If your cat is an outdoor cat, his paws could track just about anything from outside.

As long as a person is otherwise hygienic, I don't see a problem big enough to freak over though.

nothing to freak out about, but be aware that they have different sleep patterns to you - they might be awake when you're asleep and wake you up.

I thought that was only for people with allergies. If you have allergies but still have a cat, you're supposed to keep your bedroom cat-free so your immune system can catch a break while you sleep.

Because sleeping with fur in the bed is disgusting.

I let my cats sleep on top of my bed all the time. Just clean the comforter if it gets too dirty. If I roll over in my sleep, they just get tossed off. I would put a stop to it if they tried to climb under the covers though.

The only reason I would freak out about it is because I sleep like a sleepwalking wrestler, meaning; I'd fear crushing or hitting the cat and having it hate me forever for it.

This is also why I

I didn't mean at the same time as me. Cat has the bed during the day, I have the bed at night. I just didn't know what was so bad about it

One of my cats usually insists on being under the covers. And if you don't let her in then she'll sleep on your head. I don't really mind it though, it's one of her eccentricities. She's also an indoor cat and extremely hygenic, otherwise I don't think I'd let her.

Same cat I mentioned before also likes to sleep either on or between my legs when I'm sleeping. Sometimes when I'm about 90% asleep and 10% awake I realize there's an annoying weight on my legs or around them, and without realizing it's her I kick a bit, not hard or anything, just in a gtfo of me way. She always climbs back on though. So unless you tend to kick violently in your sleep, I don't think it's much to be worried about. Cats will also move if you move, they aren't completely unaware, and they won't just lay there if they're in danger. Most cats sleep very lightly.

Hell, the wife and I used to have 3 chihuahuas in bed with us. They make great footmuffs in the winter!

I'd love to let my cat sleep on my bed with me, but not only am I paranoid of possibly rolling over and crushing her in the night, but she's also hyperactive at night and can't be trusted to be in the bedroom "unattended" (because I consider being asleep to not be attended to the cat's mischeif)

She naps with me on the couch and sometimes I shift in ways that might have crushed her if I was asleep ad not paying attention, and it doesn't wake her up, so yeah. I worry.
