Benefits of Sleeping with your cat

According to The Sleep Judge, there are many benefits to having your cat sleep with you.

  • Sleeping with a cat could offer a sense of security and aid in relaxation.

  • Cats reduce stress, bring warmth and their purring and breathing is known to relieve stress and help you sleep.

Disadvantages of having your cat sleep with you

  • Cats are nocturnal animals. They don’t care that you have to wake up early in the morning or that you might be exhausted, sick or desperately need a good 8 hours of sleep.

  • Allergies - Cat dander is a common allergen and some people are highly allergic.

  • Litterbox Debris - Litter and other debris on your kitty can wind up on your bed. The 2 above disadvantages can be resolved by grooming.
