This could be a short blog – anywhere they shouldn’t. If you know anything about cats, then you will know that they do exactly what they want. That includes choosing a sleeping place. And since they spend much of the day snoozing, they like to find a variety of comfortable spots ..

Your bed? No, their bed. Buy one of those cat beds if you want, they might use it once but then it will be rejected in favour of the larger option. When you want to go to bed, you will usually find them right in the middle of the bed, thus pushing you out to the side.

Ever woken up and wondered why you have no feeling in your legs? Invariably you then discover that there is what seems like half a ton of cat sleeping on them. If it’s not your legs, then it’s your chest, which doesn’t really help when it comes to breathing …

So, what strange places do your cats sleep in? Do they always pick places they shouldn’t? Have you given up trying to reeducate them?
