We let the kitty in the bedroom yesterday. He’s now sleeping with us. There’s no going back from that. It went pretty well. He started out on my pillow and at some point ended up between my pillow and my husband’s pillow. Early in the morning, maybe 5:00 am, he started putting his nose on mine and patting my face with his paw. So I rolled over. Then he shifted to laying in the middle of the bed.
When I woke up, he was nowhere in sight. I got out of bed and felt a soft tap on my ankle. He was hiding underneath the bed. I’m going to have to be a lot more careful getting up in the morning so I don’t step on him. One more thing to worry about.
Like all small creatures, he is an absolute angel when he’s asleep. And kittens do sleep a tremendous amount. We are hoping that giving him access to the bedroom provides him with more room to explore during the day and a sense of security by being close to us at night. We’ll see how it goes.
