Sleeping With a Cat

[SoDesuKa]

Yesterday my daughter brought over her 2 yr. old orange tabby for me to mind while she is traveling. Once out of the cage, he went and hid and didn't come out until after I'd gone to bed. To my surprise, he came into the bedroom and climbed in the bed with me. We slept together like old pals.

In the morning he was gone, but I noticed his food had been eaten. He's still in the house but he won't come out. I thought sleeping with somebody meant intimacy but I am not a cat. Apparently, among cats, the fact that we slept together does not mean we are acquainted.

4. Your taking it personally.....

Some cats are just more independent than others. he is in a new environment and is exploring. The fact that he slept with you is a good sign he likes you.

6. In many ways

it means he's comfortable with you and isn't afraid of you. Most of mine sleep with me. I only need a single, but I've got a king because I have 3-4 other bedmates!
