My wife sleeps on one side with about a million pillows, and the cat sleeps in the middle. Over the course of the night, she slowly seeps further and further into my side, and if I get up to pee or anything she is in my spot when I get back. This is my life now.

    The only solution I have found for this is to get a bigger bed. And if that doesn't work, keep getting the next bigger size until you have the biggest one

          I have had very very small bedrooms where the bed take >80% of the space. It's really hard to change the sheets and such. :( but cozy once its set up.

        You've inspired me to make a cat lasagna recipe. Keeping the salt down will be the biggest challenge but I'm thinking seaweed noodles, fishies and non brained olives (garlic and stuff that is in olive brine is real bad for cats but ilvues themselves contain the same psychoactive compound as catnip) and boiled fishes.

          Oh wow, I had no idea cats could eat seaweed! I know they're obligate carnivores, but I guess seaweed is different from other plants?

            It's the thing I'm not totally sure about, mostly in the amount. Cats will chomp grass when controversially outdoors and stuff, it's also salty af and it being from the ocean makes that most likely impossible to prevent. Carnivores do tend to chomp a minor amount of plant in the wild, a lot of herbivores also will totally snack on another animal if it's like super convenient. Deer and stuff will eat injured birds and squirrels snatch baby birds from nests.

              I learned this as a result of some frantic googling after seeing a deer run across the road in front of me with bloody flesh dangling from its mouth. If my husband hadn't seen it too, idk that I would really believe it happened. Like a dog running around with a plushy, except a deer and the plushy is red tatters.

              I used to grow wheatgrass for my most indoor (his choice: lazy) cat. Loved it.

              Remember when people were trying to drink wheat grass. Bleh. Better for the cat.

    If you develop restless leg syndrome they'll leave you alone when you sleep

      Nah, cats are adaptive creatures they'll just demand to sleep on your shoulder like a parrot. This is what mine does.

        Mine lives on my shoulder like a parrot when I'm awake, she got really into it as a kitten and she'd hang off my rat tail, she's too big for that now but incredibly tiny for an 8 year old kitty, so now she's my scarf. When we're sleeping she'll come up and do a lil face mashing, my stubble is her favorite scratching surface and then she'll either cuddle up by my chest if I'm sideways or by my hip in a position I like to call the Big Iron so she's under my hand and I'm scritchin like It's high noon

    One of my favorite things is when my cat will curl up and sleep on my legs near my feet. It just feels so comforting.
