Where Does Your Cat Sleep Overnight? Expert Insights & Tips

My Ragdoll cats, Charlie and Trigg, do not sleep with me. It is weird. In fact, they really have never slept with me. Charlie did before Trigg came along, but he was also 3-4 months old then, so it could have been a kitten thing.

My cat, Rags, ALWAYS slept with me. And when my parents got their Ragdoll cats, Caymus and Murphy, when Rags was 15 years old and I was still living at home, Rags taught them to sleep with me.

And when I stay at my parents’ lake house at Thanksgiving, Caymus and Murphy will sleep with me – and not with my parents. And they don’t always sleep with my parents.

So, I thought it would be interesting to have a discussion about where your cats sleep overnight. Trigg pretty much sleeps downstairs somewhere – Charlie 80% of the time is on the same floor as me – sleeps in the sink or on the Peach Pet Provisions Pillow Bed. It varies by the season.

Where does your kitty sleep overnight?  Do they sleep in your bed? Their own bed?
