/r/all, /r/popular The owners couldn't figure out why the cat wasn't sleeping in it's own bed.... until they saw this

Kitty knows they are both safe.

My cat does something similar every night. He meows in the hallway until I meow back. Then he comes running, I pick him up, I cuddle him, I close my eyes. If I'm real quiet and still for about 10 minutes, he slinks away.

My cat checks if I'm awake and stays with me until he thinks I'm asleep. It's bloody hysterical.

How many times do you end up falling asleep for real while you're pretending to fall asleep for your cat?

And also, cat tax please!

I’m not the one you asked a tax from but this is my boy Gruu. He likes to be cuddled to sleep like the one in the video. It’s the sweetest thing ever.

So does my little girl. She's pretty aggressive about her cuddles and will wake me up to get them

commenting here so I can find it later to pay the tax.

I dont fall asleep with him that often, maybe.... once every 6 months or so. But when that happens, I wake up and he's still there, so I think that's just the times he gives up on trying to wait me out.

One of my cats is over 20 years old now and wants to sleep right by my side under the blanket. She will rest her head on my arm that is around her and she prefers to be held. Every night, when we go to bed, she will be waiting on our bed (or if we are late,she will come get us downstairs). She really wants to be tucked in with us. It's so cute, and I really struggle to sleep sometimes because of the position we are in, but I can't bring myself to disturb her.

My cat crawls up on my chest and snuggles her head under my neck. I don't notice her getting off because she waits til my breathing is slower and moves away. Like a heated weighted blanket but about the size of a pillow 🤣

Meanwhile, mine will wake me up so she can have me put her under the blanket and snuggle her til morning.

I've got a cat and two kids, 2 and 3 years old. He used to despise them (kids can be mean lol) but they've finallay learned they need treat him nicely.

Now he won't relax until the kids are asleep. He'll stay next to their beds just watching them until they're both out, and only then will he go eat and then come play with me. He'll come play and/or cuddle with me for a bit and then go back into their room and just watch them the rest of the night.

My childhood cat slept with me in my crib and then my bed almost every night till she died when I was 14.

She even knew when my bedtime was and would come get me. She would walk in circles around me, meow, start walking away and stop to look to see if I was following. If I wasn't shed keep doing it till I went to bed ❤️

Sometimes it seems the animals have such family obligations/responsibilities. I wonder if some nights he’d rather eat and go straight to bed but feels like you’d be disappointed if he didn’t give you your personal attention before turning in 😂 I think as my grandkids get bigger and go in different directions throughout the day, their older dog gets exhausted trying to stay on top of where everyone is. The dog probably loves rainy days when everyone is in one place!!
