I have a queensized bed and its just me and the furries. I've never tucked in covers and go for oversized comfortors to wrap myself in so there is room for all. My medium sized beagle has fear problems when she sleeps, so she sleeps on pillows at the side. Lately she will lie next to me if there is a pillow inbetween. My gumbydog, which is to say an odd combination of dogs is six months old and back is past my knees, and his paws sit on top of the four foot fence. He has to be touching me. His favorite is stretched out in his full length glory with his head resting on my side. If its cold he will get underneath but still must be near. It is a very good thing I have a big bed since he's still growing. His favorite cat brother, a black and white cat named Patches, decided a while ago he should sleep with us so he starts out on me and sometimes stays there. His favorite spot is my hip or shoulder, but lately he'll sleep on one of my many pillows. I don't know if its because Patches considers himself number one cat or because of the dog, but the other male and my origional cat sleep next to the door or romp all night. She used it sleep with me but I think she is wary of the dog, or she likes Scampy.
The girls are smaller and more leery of the puppy and like to sleep in their room. I need homes for some and the one place I had "set" was having the house fixed up, decided it was going to cost too much when the city wouldn't pass some things and they moved. Haven't been back so I'm thinking that is or should be off.
Anybody know of a no-kill cat rescue in Olklahoma?
Love them and want to keep a couple but for my house there are too many.
If you go on petfinder.com, put in your zip code and click on shelters, you'll get a list of shelters in order of disance. Most have links to websites which will usually tell you if they're no-kill or open-door. Please be aware though that due to space issues no-killshelters will have waiting lists of weeks to months or longer, and open door shelters are so completely overwhelmed with cats that many, especially if they aren't kittens, will never find that forever home. It sounds like things are going OK in your house, so if it's at all possible to keep them, that would be by far the best. If you absolutely feel you can't you could try craigslist or ebay classifieds, but be careful there. There are some very strange people out there. People aren't always what they present themselves to be. Again, YOU are the one who you know is giving them a good home.
I can't imagine my pets not sleeping with us. They're on and off the bed all night long. We even bought a loveseat for the front window of our bedroom for the dogs that don't want to sleep on the bed. And there's a dog bed on each side of the bed on the floor for them too. We have the given dogs that sleep with us every night, lest we spend all night listening to the barking and crying. They have us well trained. The others come and go and some of them never get in the bed. On winter nights, it's actually nice to have them up there. We stay extra warm. And we don't worry about the shedding because we triple sheet the bed. Makes life waaaaay easier!
Missy almost always sleeps with me, she likes to get in under the covers when I first get in bed, with just her droll little face peeking out.
Later, she likes to get in between DHs and my pillows and snooze, she never fails to wake me in time for me to go let the goats out in the morning, and most importantly, breakfast for herself and Otis, who would never, ever dream of sleeping with anyone, hes such a snob, lol
I keep my cat on the lower half of the bed - don't need to be facing her tail end when I wake up. Besides, her paws have been walking in the litter box and that stuff doesn't need to find its way on my pillows.

The subject of pets on the bed always makes me laugh, thinking of an old relationship and the new bed that arrived after we'd already split.
The bed in question was the biggest bed I could find. When informed that it would take three months to be manufactured and delivered, I kiddingly asked the man in my life if he would be there when the bed arrived, even though I already had a feeling he wouldn't be.
"Oh sure," he said. "And if I'm not, you have plenty of pets to take up all that space. They'll love it."

You mean there are people out there with pets who DON'T sleep with them? How weird is that? LOL wink wink
Last night the cat slept on my head ALL NIGHT LONG. It's ok, but if you turn over in the night it startles him and he whips out ALL 18 claws!
