Is it okay to sleep with a cat? Can I sleep with my cat?

Comments

There is no problem. In some cases cat prefer sleep near to you even he has his own place to sleep and even refuses to sleep in this place and sleep near to you by experience.

Answer 1

It's not okay since the cat needs to have its own place of sleeping and also you need some privacy.  For people who are allergic to cat fur, it can be difficult to have your cat in the same bedroom and more so in your bed.

Answer 2

Probably yes, as long as you know about your cat both owners are medically healthy and the cat is well contacted by you. But there are some risks associated, when you share your bed with a cat you're also sharing a bed with any parasites the cat is harboring. And some of those parasites could make your life miserable. Fleas can't live on people and leave behind itchy welts.

Answer 3

its not ok to sleep with you cat as the cats fur falls if you are sleeping with it and the furs go in your nose they your breath can get stuck

Answer 4

In my experience, it was okay for both my cat and I. He doesn't stay in my bed the entire time, he sometimes go out to eat or play. I think it just comforts him to know that I'm near.

Answer 5

It is generally safe to sleep with your cat, but it may pose a risk to those with allergies, weakened immune systems, or respiratory problems. It's best to consult a doctor if you have concerns.

Answer 6

It’s fine to sleep with your cat. Some cats enjoy being in close contact with their owners. However, some cats may be startled by you moving while you sleep.

Answer 7

It is generally okay to sleep with your cat, as long as both you and your cat are comfortable with it. It is important to make sure that your cat's nails are trimmed and they are not too active while you are sleeping, as they could accidentally scratch you. Additionally, it is best to keep your cat off of your face and head to avoid any potential health risks.

Answer 8

Allowing your cat to cuddle up with you at night can help reduce stress and may help you fall asleep more quickly. However, they can also interrupt your sleep throughout the night and bring a number of health risks to your bed, too.
