How to make your pets not sleeping with you?

I know it sounds weird but recently my cats, Muska (not Musky - the other cats) always want to sleep besides me during at night. I don't mind actually but the reason i want to make her to sleep somewhere else is because she brought her kittens to sleep together with me, and i don't want to accidentally be a 'murderer' during sleep - if you know what i means. A little help?

I know what you mean. How sweet Muska is!! What I would do is make a nice cozy box with a really soft blanket and place her kitten inside the box. When she goes to the box, pet her and tell her Good Muska. I am not so sure if leaving the box near your bed is a good idea or not. I suppose you could try. Obviously she likes sleeping with you near. If she continues to bring her babies to your bed, then you are going to have to remove her and the box with the kittens from the room. If there is another warm room in the house, that is quiet, that would be a great alternative. Be sure to leave clean water and some food nearby. If you can close the door on an additional room, purrrfect. If you can not shut the door on another room, or if you do not have another room, a corner of the bathroom would work. Or just keep your bedroom door shut so she can not enter with the kittens. Hope this helps you and Muska.

You're very welcome. Cats like warm places to sleep too but quiet, where they can rest without worry about being interrupted. Thank you for your comment.

Every time she & her baby get in bed with you, sit the kitten back down on the floor, then sit Muska back down on the floor. If she immediately jumps back up, smack her nose & put her back on the floor. You may have to do this a bunch of times, but she will get tired of jumping back up & go sleep somewhere else. The kitten should learn faster than Muska. Good luck with this as cats can be very stubborn. If you're persistent enough, you can win!!!
