NMMR: Icky Mystery - Do you let your cats sleep with you?

[babsbunny]

Some of you may not want to keep reading.





For those that let their cat sleep with them at night, has your cat accidentally ever left you a #2 gift?





Now the mystery part.  I sleep in panties, flannel pants, and a large, loose long-sleeve t-shirt.  My two cats sleep on my side of the bed.  I woke up this morning, used the bathroom, brushed my teeth, changed into a different pair of flannel pants, changed into a bra and short sleeve shirt, and ran two miles on the treadmill.  As I'm taking off both bottoms to get into the shower, something rolls into my left hand that is about almond sized.  I thought maybe chocolate, but took a sniff and knew exactly what it was.  *shudders* 

So I don't know where it came from, where it was, how long it was there, and who it came from.  I'm just going to pretend it never happened and try to forget all about it as much as possible.

Please laugh at my expense.

Um...no. No, they have not.

Oh.my.gawd. (And I did laugh, so thanks for that.) To answer, we have two cats and yes they sleep with us but no turds. Last night they got in a fight at 3am because boy kitty jumped on girl kitty so that was fun. One has puked on the bed while I was in it. No kitty turds yet, but holy shit, you poor thing! That sucks.

We don't have cats but our dogs have done it like once or twice. I'm assuming it got stuck or they had an 'oops'.

I have never had that happen. I have had my asshole cat jump up on the bed, openly shit on it and jump down as I was settling in for the night though.

I don't have cats but this reminded me of the Always Sunny episode - who pooped the bed!! Too funny.

One of my cats was too fat to clean adequately. She often left skid marks on my sheets/comforter. So gross

I did it! I made all the poops!

[lindyanne]

No. My dogs do sometime though. One has sleep peed a little a few times. And Saturday she jumped in bed and immediately sprinkled everywhere. Thankfully just on the blankets.

[mbcdefg]

My two sleep in the bed with us.

We've never found a whole poop, but sometimes when we're not home they've wiped their ass on the sheets. Ugh. Luckily we have a lot of extra bed linens.

Oh, and a couple times our female cat has sprayed her anal glands on the bed when we're in it. That's super frustrating at midnight when you're incredibly tired and have to get up and change all the sheets.

I've never been pooped on, but I've had one of my cats puke in my bed with me in it.

[spunkarella]

Oh my god. I'm so sorry! I would do the same thing - pretend this never happened.

We have never had a poop incident, thankfully. They have vomited on the bedspread a couple of times while we were at work.

And I do have a funny (now, to me) story about spunky kitty, in case our epic search wasn't proof enough our love for that cat.

When we moved to our current city, the car ride and new environment were apparently very traumatic for him. Right after we moved in, spunky kitty peed ON DH's head while DH was sleeping. Twice.

LOL this shouldn't be making me laugh nearly as much as it is.

For some reason this doesn't bother me as much as finding random human poop.

OMG, smelling cat shit is the worst.

I try not to let them on the sheets, but they sneak up there in the middle of the night, otherwise I make them lay on the blanket.

We actually keep a second blanket on our bed when we aren't in it, to minimize cat hair and puke soaking through to our main duvet/comforter. Someone likes to puke on the bed when we're at work occasionally.

I think the worst bed incident we ever had was when one of them pissed on me. I was fast asleep with my back towards the outside of the bed, and woke up to something warm running down my back. And the little bastard knew what she was doing, she took off running and hid somewhere. It was so odd because we never had any major urine issues or anything. I think it was a revenge piss for always kicking her out of bed.

[mbcdefg]

My make cat will not puke on the floor. He ALWAYS has to move to a carpeted area, or on top of a blanket. Even if I see him gagging and I move him to a non-carpeted area, he'll immediately run back to the carpet.

I wonder if their instincts make them look for a "grassy" area, where carpet = grass.

OMFG

So I came into this thread because when we eventually get a dog, I want to let it sleep on the bed with us. H does not; this is his hill to die on.

I'm trying to be more sympathetic to his POV. This thread helped immensely in that regard. LOL

[babsbunny]

Thank you everyone. I appreciate the stories that made me laugh. FYI - I'm not saying a word to DH. I cleaned all the sheets today (even the electric blanket and the comforter). I also use $3 fleece blankets from Wal-Mart around the house to try to keep the cat hair contained. While I have woken up to two puking events in the past, for both I had time to throw the cat off the bed before the deed was done.

All in the name of love.

My siamese has barfed on my numerous times in the middle of the night. And she likes to barf right next to my head.

[mich1]

Nope, never had one of my cats either poop or pee on the bed. But the dog jumped up on the bed, stood on my chest and hurled. What a way to wake up!

[Deleted]

They sleep with me. We've had a poop incident. Suddenly my living room smelled awful. I found a piece of poop on the second shelf of a bookcase. I have no clue how or why.

I shouldn't have opened this thread. I've never had a cat before. But we are cat sitting for the next three months and I am told that kitty likes to sleep on the bed.
