Our cat seems to have loads of different places that she likes to fall alseep around the house. Downstairs she likes to sleep on either of the sofas. Upstairs she likes to sleep on the landing (very strange if you ask me) which is a bit annoying as we have to be careful not to trip over her, on our bed, if she gets the chance, and on a chair in the spare bedroom where we have our computers. Also sometimes she sleeps on peoples knees too! Why does she have so many places to sleep, why doesn't she just stick to one? And what about your cat(s) where does he/she/they sleep around your house? Just one place or several?

we have 4 cats and they all sleep in numerous places! sometimes they will sleep on our dining room table (we dont really use it) or on their cat tree, or on the couch.. we also have a little cat heating pad, which they sometimes sleep on. one of our cats likes to sleep in my sons play pin.. they have so many places its almost impossible to list them all off of the top of my head! im not really sure why they dont just pick one spot and stick to it though.

My cat is the same. I think he has certian ways of picking where he will sleep. In the winter, he sleeps on the floor of the front bedroom, in the sun; if it is cloudy, he goes downstairs to the papasan chair which is noce and cozy. If we are home he stays on the couch (near the kitchen). When it is hot he usually stays lower to the floor, where it is cooler, so he will sleep under chairs or in front of the A/C registar.

My cats usually sleep anywhere they seem to be relaxed and cozy for a long sleep. Sometimes they cuddle with eath other and sleep most of the time. They also sleep on the couch and other soft surfaces. I created them a big bed for them to fit in and it worked wonders for them sleeping in different places. They liked their new bed and they sleep there everyday now. At least I don't have to worry about stepping on my cat(s) when I'm walking around the house.

I would say that my cats have their own favorite places to sleep in. My Columbus, for example, always sleeps on the sunporch radiator, right next to the windows. I would rather that he didn't, however, because there's a little draft and he seems to be right in it. But there's no telling for cat's preferences, anyway, lol. And my Waffles enjoys napping on the bed, for the most part, especially in the afternoon. It's quiet and comfy, just the way she likes it!

I miss my Kitty cat... She liked to sleep with me, on my dresser, on the couch when I was there, in my lap, on the top of my clothes basket when it was full of warm clothes fresh from the dryer. When I moved in with my daughter, my kitty ran away... they couldn't have hurt her they were allowed to run loose... but she found her another mommy, I guess.

I have 4 cats and they each have favorite places to sleep. They sleep in many places, but depending on the time of day, you can find them in their favorite sleeping spots. Terra likes to sleep on the chair that is over the heating vent. Duncan likes to sleep on top of the kitty condo. Don Juan likes to sleep in the front window on the needlepoint footstool. And Max likes to sleep in a box in the back room or on the kitchen table. (we don't use the table very often) In the evening, they like to sleep in the same room that we are in. and at night they sleep on the bed with us.

Our cat seems to have a few select sleeping places. She even has a routine lol.

During the morning she sleeps mostly on the back of the sofa. She used to sleep one just one side so I put a towel down to try and combat the amount of cat hair on the sofa. Now however, she's decided she'll sleep on whichever cushions don't have a towel spread on them.

She also has a soft cat bed on the recliner chair, and she spends most her her afternoon there. In the evenings, she's very active. She plays with her toys and races round the apartment like a maniac. When my partner goes to bed she generally spends a little bit of time with me and then goes to sleep in her bed. She stays there for most of the night till I go to bed, although where she sleeps and what she does while we're in bed I have no idea. She's always there to greet us in the morning anyway.

Our three cats sleep wherever they want. It could be in the chair, It could be on the couch. It could be in a box, which whit he papers in them it looks very uncumfortable. One sleeps in a bowl that is to small for her but she squueezes in anyways. Sometimes they even sleep on us. They don't have any real one place where they sleep.

Cats, by nature, sleep a lot during the day, their total sleep time increasing as they age. Daily durations of sleep vary, usually 12-16 hours, with 13-14 being the average. Some cats can sleep up to 20 hours in a 24 hour period. Depending upon the age and the metabolism of the cat, the animal will choose his or her napping place with a certain degree of finickiness. Most cats prefer stiffer surfaces, and as long as it is a fairly comfortable area, the animal won't hesitate to just lay down a take a nap when he or she becomes tired. Vets suggest, if the large number of places your cat sleeps bothers you, to create a special place for the animal using a cat bed or something similar and rewarding the cat when he or she sleeps there. If you find the cat asleep somewhere other than the bed, then pick the cat up and move the cat to his or her bed. This takes time, but if you are diligent in it, you can train the cat to only sleep there. Personally, I don't mind that I never know where my cat could be sleeping.

my cat sleaps in strange places too; he sleeps on the washinng machine and even on the t.v. but his most favourite place is to sleep on me. and i must tell you its not always nice because he is a big and heavy cat!
but it is my duty as his proud owner.
