My cats are all indoor, clean and healthy, up to date on vaccinations and meds. All 3 sleep on my bed on and off. One of them snuggles with me every night. they never really disturb me while I sleep or cause any issues. I can usually tell something is up with one of them if they don’t sleep with me. Listening to them meow and scratch to get in the room is more annoying than letting them in the room and in the bed.
cat owners do you let your cat sleep in your bed?
i feel so bad when i shut him out the room and hearing his little meows. i’m mostly scared of him scratching my face & leaving parasites or worms or something. but he’s a strictly indoor kitten (has been dewormed and has his flea treatments) so idk if that makes the chances go down🤷♀️

I don’t but just because he’s a menace. He won’t just lay down and cuddle, needs to be climbing on everything and meowing SO LOUDLY. Love him to death, but he sleeps on the couch or in the guest room. If he would just cuddle up I would let him in the bed.

If he’s indoor only and up to date on his preventative stuff he’s not going to give you worms though… that’s an unfounded fear in my opinion
I don't let our indoor cats in our room at night. They're up to date on vaccinations and we make sure to keep up with flea and deworming treatments as my male cat is allergic to fleas and they could kill him if he by some miracle caught them. I'm meticulous on making sure my animals are healthy. I don't let my cats in the room at night because they disrupt mine and my husband's sleep. They want to play, sleep on our pillows, wake us up for attention, make it difficult to get comfortable, BOTH cats lay on top of me. It's just not ideal so they get kicked out and get full reign of the house other than the bedrooms at night.
With this in mind, when do you all recommend kicking them out the bedroom ready for baby? I won’t lie… I’ve been planning it for weeks but it’s now less than 2 weeks until I’m due and I’m still leaving the door open for them🤦🏽♀️. One sleeps on the settee but will occasionally come for a cuddle with me and the other has a bed down the side of our bed but doesn’t bother us. Cribs been up for weeks and they’ve not given it a second glance but I know they’re gonna have to go once the baby arrives . Pulling my heart strings kicking them out after they’ve had full reign of the house for 5+ years 😔

I’ve been debating this myself! Both cats are as soft as muck and as I say, I’ve had the crib up for a few weeks and they’ve never bothered with it (it’s a next to me crib so anytime he’s in it I’m going to be there). At first I had it filled with a few balloons just to deter them away a bit more incase they decided they wanted to get comfy in it but have recently took them out and they’ve been absolutely fine. I’d never leave them unattended but it’s maybe something I’ll have to think about once the babies born. One of my cats are super cuddly (mainly with me) however he’s extremely sensitive to loud noises so once he knows that this baby screams and makes noises, he’s likely to keep his distance even more. The other cat is again a little mamas girl so I think she’s going to want to keep her distance from this unknown thing living in her house anyway. They both have their designated areas that they like to sleep in on a night so fingers crossed that’s not going to change for any reason.
Thank you for reply tho, I’ve been worried about this for a while but I’m glad to know that the only option isn’t just to give the cats the boot, potentially upsetting them, especially since the babies arrival is due next week but set to happen within the next 2.

We let our cat keep his normal routine when we had a baby, I don't think you need to necessarily kick them out if they behave, think it depends on their personality. Our cat is calm and never scratched or bit us except for when we ask for it playing with our hands. He sleeps on the bed occasionally, mostly in his special laundry basket he likes as his bed. When we got the crib we told him "no" a couple of times to leave it alone, when baby was in it he was just cautious about what strange creature was in there and he never jumped in. We swapped to a next to me and if he was in the bedroom at the same time as her we would watch on the monitor the whole time but he never got in there at all, even when she wasn't in there, he knew it was her space (and he had the king size bed) so there was never any issue that needed us to change anything. But we never left them unattended.Now when she's two and a half, he's still never ever done anything to her and our job is just protecting him from her as she's loud sometimes and runs towards him and he gets a bit scared so we try to be really strict on that she has to be nice to the cat. Cat is good as gold but we still don't just leave them unattended as she might do something unexpected to him which might be mean or make him have to defend himself
