Just curious. If we’re sharing the bed and I roll to not face her, my cat yells and marches over in front of whatever side I’m now facing and if there’s not enough room, that’s a problem for me to fix.

Just curious if this is standard cat behaviour or another adorably needy quirk of mine?

    Our cat will put us to bed. When we turn the light off she will lay on my hip for 5-15 minutes then once she’s convinced I’m asleep (I’m not) she will hop off the bed and go do cat things (she tells us it’s catslified and we can’t know she does these cat things). She sometimes will lay on my wife for 30 seconds, maybe a minute but always lays on me. She’ll pace around too until I lay on my side so she can put me to bed.

    In the winter she’ll come back and snuggle up with one of us because she likes the warmth and we keep it cooler at night. In the summer she’ll lays a bit further away near one of us (usually pinning the blanket down so I can’t get up). She is truly a creature of habit.
