    When I had cats, they learned real quick. I turn in my sleep, and their cries don’t wake me up. So they’d sleep at the foot of the bed. They’d sleep at the headboard of the bed. But they learned real quick do NOT sleep in the middle.

    Sorry Karmalee…

      Whereas my body will always betray me in order to let tiny cats sleep comfortably! Even sleeping it will not roll so as to not hurt them. Then I wake up feeling like I slept on the floor cause I never moved and released pressure.

        Ever since nursing school when I wake up in that post-REM haze my brain goes “reposition: right-side-lying to supine” then two hours later “reposition: supine to left side lying” then two hours after that down into prone. I’m like a lil half-conscious rotisserie chicken…

        My daytime sleep schedule has hubs and I in a temporal bedroom divorce and he very much prefers things that way. Sometimes on the rare occasion that I have to sleep at night he storms off to the couch in a huff.

            No it would be one of the several socially inappropriate nicknames patients have given me and which I will not be repeating here due to the extent that they correlate with my many physical deformities and are thus personally identifiable.

    Aww, my siamese wold always take the center part of my bed and the rule was if she came first, then the place its hers. So bending my spine was pretty common to me. I miss those days a lot…

    I have three cats. Solution is simple. Remove spine, rib cage, intestines, upper and lower hip bones.

      I also have three cats. One tends to sleep on whatever blanket is folded on the floor. The other two sleep on such a way that I always need to contort into an S.

    I sleep with the cat tucked under one arm. I don’t move in my sleep, and she remains in that position until morning.
