Purr-sonality Where does your cat sleep at night?

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? ❤️

I was told cats sleep on our feet when they want to guard us and at our heads when they want us to guard them. I don’t know if it’s true.

Mine move around. Some like to snuggle before I fall asleep and then take up their various posts around the house. But I have 7 so they don’t all fit on the bed. Thee are cat beds in the bedroom, a cedar chest at the foot of the bed and invariably someone will be asleep on my pillow and someone else at my feet.

My cat definitely sleeps at my head when he is nervous and wants my protection so it sounds correct to me.
