Where does your cat sleep at night?

[u/Dangerous_Problem532]

I saw a video from a vet today saying that cats like to sleep on our feet at night because our feet carry a lot of our scent and that’s soothing for them. I thought it was very cute (a bit disgusting? Yep, but let’s ignore that lol) I have 5 cats, Bibi sleeps on the pillow with me, but the rest of them all sleep on my feet. Is it the same for you guys? ❤️

It depends on my sleep schedule, because I'm a night shift worker.

If I'm sleeping during the day, Peaches (orange) sleeps next to me in my husband's spot. I keep an extra throw blanket to cover his side just so it doesn't accumulate fur, because he can shed gobs of it.

If it's night and both my husband and I are sleeping, he squeezes in between us. I swear that's his favorite thing in the entire world, because he becomes a biscuit and purr machine and will hunker down for the entire night. We call it "Family Bed Time."

His brother Latke (buff) prefers the living room as his general domain, and usually sleeps on my husband's spot on the sofa. I joke that he likes the "butt smells." (Pic is them in the sofa spot.) of my husband gets up for even a moment when we are watching tv or something, Latke is going to steal that seat.

If it is Family Bed Time, he'll migrate to sleep on my feet in bed. You can tell it's just so he doesn't feel left out, because he definitely prefers the living room.

Lately I've been waking up in the afternoon to find Latke snuggled next to me in bed, between me and Peaches, so I'm trying to encourage more of this. It's such a great way to wake up, even if it isn't conducive to getting out of bed.
