When I used to have a cat, at the time I usually slept on my side but I’d switch sides occasionally. She’d be sleeping right on my hip/butt. If I wanted to roll over, I’d just shift a bit first to warn her, then just roll over a bit more slowly than normal and she’d either just jump off while I moved or sometimes just stay on me like a slow rolling log walk. Then, once I’d settled, she would do the same, unless she felt like she was needed at the window or something.
We kinda trained each other… Sorry, cat, but I need to switch sides from my side, claws if I moved too quickly from hers (not because she was pissed at me but to help keep her footing), but it didn’t take long to sync up with each other.
Nah, do your thing, they adjust. They sleep 20 hours a day, I’m not worried about disturbing them. If they don’t like it, they can sleep somewhere else, but they don’t.
I don’t really let my cats on my bed because they used to pee on it regularly, but they do often sleep with my six year old and that kid is definitely not quiescent in their sleep, so I suppose you’re right.
I sleep sideways/diaginal on my bed about half the time at this point because I have a cat who likes to lay between my legs, and that only works for a short time for me. So when I move, I just lay differently so she doesn’t get up, and I’m still comfortable.
We have 4 cats but they’re not allowed in the bedroom. We will let 1 of them in sometimes to cuddle on the bed because that’s his favoritest thing in the world but other than that we just want to avoid cat hair in the bedroom.
Not a dad, but an ex that wound up with three after the split many years ago — OP’s meme strongly channeling the current girlfriend, but holding strong that my one remaining old man doesn’t want a cat friend lmao
This reminds of all those memes about Dads who didn’t want cats. Then Dad loves the cat.
All dads love cats. They just know they’ll be the ones that end up looking after it most of the time.
I never wanted a cat. Now I have two. Both sleep in my bed. One on my left, one on my right. Both stretched out and with full body contact.
I like cats - I have three - but not being able to toss and turn sounds awful.

You get used to it!
Signed, cat servant who has one that sleeps at his feet.
But it could be worse: We also have a 60 lb (27 kg) dog that likes to cuddle with my wife. So I definitely have the better end of the deal.
Ah, I remember the days of sharing the bed with dogs. Those were good days, but I don’t miss the smell on the bedclothes.
I can just take Nacho and use him as a pillow, toss him around and stuff. Only negative thing is that he keeps purring louder if I do
Nachos sound like a terrible pillow, and if yours start purring you probably shouldn’t eat them.
Jokes aside, that’s cute, thank you for sharing.

Fair enough.

My partner was like this before I moved in. Shit changed fast.
I pretty much gave up on keeping the cats out of the bedroom when Percy started opening the door.
Having a cat is like being locked in a battle of wills except the cat always win.
Maybe, but they’re cats, not dogs. Looking after them is not as nearly as much time consuming.
