My cat stays in my bed with me. When I have company he gets a little confused. :) I've had no complaints from women, usually they think it's cute or sweet. I get sandwiched on either side. Women on the right, cat on the left.

My dogs sometimes sleep in bed with me but when I have someone over they either sleep on the floor on in another room. I did date a guys a couple years ago though that was always inviting my dog up on the bed and if that is what he wanted to do then I am ok with that.

I also have a dog area on the bed, they have a blanket on the bed and they need to sleep on that blanket not my blankets. I wash there blanket or change it twice a week...I dont like sleeping with dog fur that isnt on the degs.

I dont have any pets... and if I did I don't see why it woudl matter. As long as you're no some kind of freak a pet at the foot of the bed isn't a problem...

My two cats sleep with me. In the past I have tried to put them out the room, but they just scratch at the door all night. MY partner will have to get used to it. Besides, they live here. She doesn't.

I honestly think all the people responding with "I can't even be friends with someone who does not like pets" has completely missed the point. I LOVE animals, and since they're very good at sensing that, they almost always seem to love me. I can't remember how many times I've been told by a friend "wow, I can't believe how quickly he/she made friends with you, he/she's not that friendly with anyone!" So the point is NOT whether or not the new romantic interest does or doesn't like animals. Here's are two *great* examples of the point of this thread:


my mutt sleeps in the bed, right under the duvet snuggled up against my back. i wouldn't have it any other way..


I have one cat between my legs, two cat's on either side of my head and one cat sleeping on the foot of the bed.

If a man can't deal with that, then he can drop dead!

Sorry honey, but if "your mutt" is the one you want to spoon with at night, given the choice of him or me - or if you insist that the cats occupy both sides of your head AND between your legs at night , then I hope you really really enjoy whatever romantic, intimate relationship you apparently have with them, because I think you're going to have a tough time establishing a romantic, intimate relationship with a man that way!

A cat or a cat-sized dog curled up at the foot of the bed, fine. But a 130 lb lab who insists on sleeping snuggled against your back between you and me (as I experienced with one ex-girlfriend) or the small dog or cat who insists on sleeping on the pillow snuggled against your neck (been there done that too!) is where I'll draw the line, even though I love animals. I'd like to be able to wake up in the morning and be able to snuggle and kiss the back of your neck, not the cat or dog's rump thank-you-very-much!

I know certain 2 year old children that can be considered animals, would they not be allowed in bed with you? kind of the same thing, kind of not. Animals to me are a family member - yes you need your space, everyone does - but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't climb up on my bed to say hello when they want to..

Interesting trying to make the comparison with children - I think if you consider your pets as equals to your children, that says something in and of itself, but that's a whole 'nother thread!
But since you asked - the 2 year old, or the pet - sure, they can "climb up on the bed to say hello", that's fine. But *neither* belongs with you and your SO all night, every night in bed.

mjr8332:

OH yes... my dog sleeps with me every night (95lb yellow lab) and i would choose him over any man.

draconah:

mjr8332- I think this is why some of us are single.

Bravo! If she's made her choice to sleep, snuggle and cuddle at night with a 95 lb lab instead of a man... Well, she's made her choice.

You people that love your pet so much that you will not kick them out of bed for your SO my dont you marry the pet and get off this site so people have idea who to try to make an realtionship. 90 or 95 percent of the people will not allow thier pet that much control over thier lives.

My cat Lucy sleeps in my bed every night.But if I had a partner,and we wanted to
get intimate,then I kick the cat out of the room.lol

I think it's creepy when people have sex,with a cat or dog in the room.

Yes, she has DallasFlier. And uh, whats it matter to you? Frankly, the only thing I see you doing here other than saying "I wouldn't do it, I think its silly" is just that what you are *really* doing is b**ching about it because it takes a few women out of *your* "dating pool" because you don't like how they treat your pets.

I'm sure there's a whole host of other things that people do that bother you too, why don't you spin up another thread to complain about all of those things too?

Wow, did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning or what? The thread was started because someone wanted opinions - I gave mine, just as many others did.

I'm glad you think you know what's going on in my head and what I'm *really* doing, but you're wrong - thanks for trying though. Now run along, you're dismissed!

Mona Lisa Smiles,

I can totally agree with what you wrote. On animals sensing something is not right with you so they come to offer you comfort. Must be why I'm feeling so blue that Min picks the pillow beside my head and just curls right up. When I was lonely and feeling down he just walked up like it was his business to my shoulder and planted his chin on top of and his front paws hung loungingly across. I never felt so warm and loved. WHen I sit here he gets in back of me and puts his chin on my right shoulder as if to look over it to see what I'm writing. When guys in my life have proven to be jerks and heartless a*holes There is my mongrel extrordinaire with his long ass meaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw and those pathetic eyes and that self-righteous pat of his paw as if to say....Just pay attention to meee...hello! He makes the day brighter. Even as I type this he's sitting facing away from me with his tail tapping my foot...always near by and always making his presence known. How can I resist.
The guy will just have to take Claritin or learn to love animals. Because once I get a house, I'm getting a dog too! ;D

But that's why we love them. Even if they do have a habit of bringing home their hunts to share with you. Try catching a bird in an apartment with the cat trying to help. Almost lost the damage deposit on that 1!

Given the choice, I'd say the dog was probably better behaved anyway!

The bed is for two things, neither of which is pet-related.

I also do not like a TV in the bedroom. If you're both laying in bed and awake, there are better things to do than watch the tube.


You just answered the question--I have a dog, a cat and a TV in my bedroom because there is nothing else to do in there!

My dog is an in and outside dog. Would you sleep outside without anything on the ground? He does, so no to having pets in bed, or even on the furniture.

The only pet I want in my bed or my man's bed is...well, him. And if I feel the need to pet something, I'm sure he can make me an offer that's not a dog or a cat or a gerbil. If not, I'll know it's time to go..... There's enough competition for male attention with other women. For heaven's sake, don't make me compete with your dog(s) or cat(s)...

And OutOfTheDesert, I understand about the TV. I have one, too, and, like you, it's b/c I don't have anything to do in my bedroom either!

I've been begging mine to sleep with me. I've done it all - cartwheels, the boogie-woogie and yes, I’ve also tried hypnotizing him by swinging a mean slab of steak back and forth until I got so dizzy I passed out. Nothing ever worked. My dog kept rolling his eyes, possibly wondering how much longer before a man makes it to bed. And then the time finally did come. But this particular man actually fell off the bed in the middle of the night when attempting to open the light, and he landed in bed with the dog. This is a true story by the way, and we laughed so hard that night, that the dog may have chortled as well.

The moral of my story is, there won’t be a dog in my bed. There won’t be a man in my bed either. At this point, I’m looking into cats.

At least I don't have to wonder if my cat and dog have been in anyone else's bed!
