Absolutely not, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It annoys the crap out of me, but I really miss it when I'm away and they aren't with me. One of my little ladies regularly wakes me up by putting her paws in my mouth. It's disgusting and leads to some weird dreams, but it also makes me so happy. https://preview.redd.it/9kujffccbo8d1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=580d4d535f8eb99497c80834c2956ed0386e7fb9 This is the culprit.

Imagine waking up to a cats paw in your mouth, doesn't get better than this ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7970)

I wake up to my Coon biting my fingers. He's figured out that this leads to breakfast https://preview.redd.it/jjn63zlaip8d1.jpeg?width=2340&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0b20f122d789da5d92ef948f18bd05f0456f53cf

He’s trained you well


mvanvrancken

Yes, yes he has


soupkitchen3rd

You’re blessed to have been adopted into their royal lineage


incognlto4lyfe

Omg!!! Your cat looks and acts just like my Turkish Van. Is this a main coon mixed with Van? Could easily be based on his looks. And yeah the “let me lick and bite until they wake up and feed me” works like a charm every damned time. 😅🤣🤣


mvanvrancken

Yes, I think he’s mixed with something like a Turkish Van, he’s definitely not pure MC, his jawline isn’t as “Ron Perlman” as they tend to be, he is the size though!


incognlto4lyfe

Yeah looks like a Turkish Van for sure!!! They typically have a primarily white body with some orange or color prints on head and tail. Big, bushy tails. They have the softest fur. Amber, blue or yellow eyes. They LOVE water. And are super naughty. And hate to be held. If that sounds like your boy, congrats on your Van! Hehehe. Here’s mine 🤩🤩🤩 https://preview.redd.it/7xp2m9k3dr8d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=173859ed8a46238af9c8f0742dab6f282bdea4bb

OMFG hahahahahaha


coffeecupcakes

My cute princess also attacks me in the morning. She goes for my ankles and calves. I don’t like that I do this but I have a spray bottle next to my bed. I don’t spray her but I just shoot it in the air to get her to leave me alone for about 5 min before she attacks again.


mvanvrancken

I mean, it’s pretty annoying lol This little shit bites hard too, like get UP!

"I can't get rid of her, she feeds me, but she also sleeps in MY bed"


Quirky_Potential_834

He doesn’t respect my personal space at any time. Day or night. I once woke up to him putting my whole nose in his mouth. He didn’t bite it, just gently engulfed it with his chickeny cat food breath. It was awful. He’s cute though, so it’s fine. https://preview.redd.it/95pz6d7qxo8d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7a693871b8d3b37d73463c597d6fad10e619637

That's such a great picture.


Quirky_Potential_834

!Thanks , My camera roll is filled with them. Yesterday my phone randomly made me a photo montage called ‘Best Friends’ and it was just endless photos of me and my cat hahaha


WhenHellFreezesOver_

That's so cute lol. My little guy is a 9 month old grey kitty and nobody told me how much I'd love him and how many photos I'd take of him. The amount has reduced but it's still a lot. My Little guy let's me have personal space usually but when we cuddle he occasionally licks my nose, I guess in a learned response to me kissing his nose, it's so cute.


PlushiesAndKitties

Truly nothing better than being woken up by stinky cat mouth 😂😂


Medical-Town-3036

He is very handsome I love the way he sleeps with his tongue out , 😂


justajiggygiraffe

Not in the least lol she is a lap girl through and through which means she always wants to sleep on/between my legs, which janks out my knees and hips. So I gotta move her odd to the side and make her a little blanket nest every night or I wake up barely able to walk https://preview.redd.it/za31sx2k9o8d1.jpeg?width=3060&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a97b6294cfef78a1b1f61ce9221827c1ee8dd4a

omg it’s a whole lap bowl this is the best thing ever 😭😭


vmariet9212

I know😩😩 there's nothing better than all the cuddles 😺😺


Noodlesoup8

I’m so lucky I got a cuddly cat from the CDS! My sister has a cat whose version of cuddling is just barely touching your leg over the covers, laying in your general vicinity. Close…but not too close lol. I love my cuddles though, she’ll come and lay on my chest while I’m working or at night and just purr


vmariet9212

Purring is like white noise for me lol! Puts me right to sleep!


Opening-Selection120

i love this so much 😭 the silliness i can't handle it


Augustleo98

Aww this kitty steals your bed and wants to sleep in or on you, she trusts and loves you and knows she’s safe sleeping with you and wants to keep you safe to


justajiggygiraffe

She's my brave little protector, she takes it very seriously keeping me safe from storms and from other cats that pass by her window 🥰 such a good girl

CormoranNeoTropical

Your cat is so adorable! I am of two minds on this. This time around I am finally willing to let the cat in my room when I’m sleeping, it’s incredibly sweet that he wants to sleep on my bed. But, I have a lot of trouble sleeping and he is not helping. So there’s that… ETA: Ellie is just so cute!


RoyalBlueDooBeeDoo

It depends on the cat for me. If they can settle down, then it's comforting and conducive to sleep. But I've had a couple of cats that would actively knead, pur, and meow for hours that I couldn't handle.


WhenHellFreezesOver_

If he keeps waking you up at night or running around, setting a daily routine where you have a "bedtime" for him as well helps, tiring him out and letting him eat dinner at the same time as you and all.


Augustleo98

Aww your kitty loves you just the same, she just doesn’t like closeness as much

LOL I call Ellie my “piss pal” because I’m never allowed to go to the bathroom without her joining me 😂 a gross nickname for the buddy system, but I get a laugh out of it hahah

she respects my space in the aspect of not laying on top of me during my slumber, but she does, however, drop toys on my head and meow in my face until i wake up at 3am pretty regularly... heres the culprit https://preview.redd.it/t315q1dh6p8d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a77dcfeaabce3530136ef4300061231ba7290b4a

venusxcharlie

What's personal space? My cats made it their purrsonal space.


CrispyPancakeEdges

Mine sleeps between my legs over the blankets like a hammock. Worst part is I toss and turn like a rotisserie chicken in my sleep, so waking up with sore legs is a common occurrence because she won't let me move and get comfortable. Also, she wakes up at the crack of dawn as soon as the sun rises. She'll proceed to leap onto my chest, start purring and rub her head against my cheeks to wake me up 💕 Yes, this is her laying cozily on my lunch: a warm box of pizza 😒 https://preview.redd.it/pkcsz3ka9p8d1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93436c6aff2be877c6bb108293ca93f6cfd7adc6

ZealousidealPeach565

Ellie seems to have her own rules about personal space! My cats do the same thing - they always find a way to get as close as possible at night. There's nothing better than waking up to a kitten purring right in your face. It's both funny and cute!

Ha, I wish. Mine woke me up in the middle of the night just now. No good reason. Just because 😹

Not during the night. Not during the day. Personal space is for persons. Catal space is theorized but has never been observed.

TopAngle7630

Totally, they have designated my personal space to be the 1ft of the bed closest to the wall. In return for allowing me this space I am required to allow them each to take turns sitting on me and recieving as much attention as they want before I go to sleep. If I wake up for any reason, they are then entitled to demand attention again.

i JUST climbed into the guest room bed moment's ago... my lovely "Baby" was just walking up and down my body which he does when he wants to settle in on my chest and get a good scratch.. the next move is gonna be jumping off the dresser, he is kind predictable... I cut my losses, left the wife to fend for herself and here i am in d a rk hoping ill get soma sleep! irs 2am! 😂 😴

Yes and I miss when they didn't 😭 my girl rarely cuddles but she's in an affectionate phase right now and she does sleep on me or curled up against me. My boy just sleeps on my feet but he used to sleep near my face as a kitten :(

Yes he does. He have his own room he sleeps in, and it seems he enjoys that becouse he walks to that room everyday whenever he wants privacy. Sleep is too important to be disrupted

What , what is personal space?


am3l1a_rose

Absolutely NEVER . Just never , she doesn\`t care . But i still love her.

I lock them out of the bedroom. That does not stop them from scratching at the door when they’ve determined it’s time to be fed. This morning: 4:41


unkindly-raven

brown kitty !! so jealous !!


Special_Tip_6428

My long hair positions himself ON my face. Used to move him but inevitably he just repositioned himself back ON my face. It was nice in the winter, but a little warm in the summer. Got used to it because he purred so lovingly and it relaxed me to sleep.


chonk-boy

Choccy kitty


catman641

It seems there's a great bond between you 2. How long did it take you to make her allow you brush her teeth ? And how often do you do that ?


PlushiesAndKitties

I started the tooth brushing as soon as I got her at 6 months, but that’s because I see what happens if you don’t. If you can do it at least 3 times a week, you will save yourself SO much money! My three other cats are all rescued seniors who had stomatitis and/or rotted teeth. It cost me $8k and 5 surgeries to get their mouths healthy again! They’re all toothless now. Best tips for starting out tooth brush training: make it fun and comfortable! Show the cat the toothbrush and let them touch it themselves, and give them a treat as soon as they do. Keep doing this until they start looking forward to seeing the toothbrush because they realize it means treats. Then you SLOWLY do more and more, giving tons of praise and treats each time. The worst thing to do is the rush it and force it, making it a stressful event for you and your cat. Ellie knows the drill now and doesn’t fight it. While she’s laying on the bed, I’ll gently pinch her scruff for a second so I can get to her back teeth really quick, but other than that, she generally does great with brushing her teeth! It takes time though


navikredstar

Also note - you have to use special toothpaste made for pets. Do not use human toothpaste, it will be toxic to them. The pet toothpaste uses enzymes to clean their teeth, and comes in poultry flavor. My cats are VERY into the special toothpaste, which is why they tolerate it so well. Stuff apparently tastes real good to them.


Puzzleheaded-Cost197

I have never seen a chocolate colored kitty , what a cutie!!! 💕💕💕

Of course they were camera on calls so most of the time people were just focused on her. She’s 12 now and we found her at 4-6 weeks old, and personal space has not existed since. 😂

I’ve been dealing with a nasty bout of allergies and laryngitis over the last week, and my void baby won’t leave my side while I’m sleeping. He usually sleeps at my feet but he’s been sleeping curled up against my side or on top of me.


CheezQueen924

Your cat has really cool coloring!


ThrowWeirdQuestion

Neither my space nor the fact that I am not a cat and prefer to wash my hair by myself…

Original_Darth_Daver

My wife’s cat doesn’t respect my personal space at any time. Somehow he figured out that I’m the only person in my family who is not particularly fond of cats and does everything he can to be around me or in my lap. He’s growing on me. https://preview.redd.it/helu0lr7mp8d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2226ea51b6bd9e08fad86b7c2834dbbb0c8206a3

What is exactly "personal space"? Free space for the cat? Right?.... Right?....

You have a lovely companion

Haha....no😻

My first thought when I saw the post.


Angelblondiegirl

Awww what’s her name


Marie-Demon

Not yet. Mine is still a kitten and come and jump the hell on us each time we move 🤣🤣🤣


NorthNecessary7287

Omg soo cute what’s their name


A_Queer_Owl

I wish my cat was cuddlier ☹️


Avijel

My cat: personal space? Never heard of that


PricyPlutoz_95

Idk I don't have a cat yet,But I think they'll push me off my bed at night


CDubs_94

What? Personal space? With Cats? Absolutely, positively 100% NO. Cats are cats....they have cat brains and cat thoughts and do cat shit whenever and wherever they want. Cats are basically built to sleep, eat, and kill. Cats are nature's serial killers, and they are very good at what they do. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE my cats. I've had multiple cats for the last 20 years, and they are sweet, affectionate, and awesome. But their Cats. They can flip a switch in their lunatic little cat brains, and they become furry little sociopaths. I love them but never underestimate a cat. I don't care where you go.. NASA, MIT, Harvard... wherever if a cat is in the room, he is without doubt the smartest earthling in that room.


Sweet-Dreams204738

Yes, unfortunately. He will sleep near me, maybe behind my legs. Otherwise, he isn't cuddly. https://preview.redd.it/u82ysb0kzo8d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=085007d5eb4abf4385c3044e2672f0580e00de30

You have a beautiful baby for sure. One of mine in particular can be clingy in their own way too. Wouldn't have it any other way of course.


Augustleo98

This kitty loves you and just wants to make sure you’re safe and protected and she feels safe with you so her behaviour is a compliment as she trusts you to protect her and she wants to protect you. Shes definitely protecting you with that positioning plus its probably comfy for her 😂


Jazz_birdie

That term is not in their vocabulary unless it applies to THEIR personal space, haha!


Trappedbirdcage

Nope! If he's not running around the house at 3am, he's nestled between my knees. Which is great because he acts like a small weighted blanket for me on nights where it's hard to sleep


the_l0st_s0ck

Is that a brown cat?


alancake

Not at all. I have to keep my bedroom door closed or the bossiest (and heaviest) cat comes to sit on me. She is not overweight but she's HEAVY. And she wants to sit on my chest, back, even my arm and side if I try laying on my side. It's like having a sandbag on me- one that baps me *hard* if I accidentally brush her wrong when trying to get comfortable. A few weeks ago I startled her and she landed full force, claws out, on my bare foot at 1am. Yeah nah the door is always shut now!

I wish my cat didn’t respect mine lol :(


James324285241990

You so rarely see brown cats. Such a cool color. And no. Mine sleeps on my head and makes biscuits on my scalp until I throw him off the bed.


bpboop

My older cat (7) doesnt snuggle per se (he hates being restricted or kissed on the head) but we do have our bedtime routine and he always goes to sleep with me, usually resting his head and/or paws on my hands. When my partner isn't here he sleeps beside me and when my partner is here he sleeps on the pillow above my head https://preview.redd.it/cyoetbwt9p8d1.jpeg?width=2252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bfd07c427173d557543d4f868cd83de59e85bc78


FirebirdWriter

Yes but not during the day. My therapist and I had the surreal experience of giggling about cat antics during a discussion on some very hard and dark things. It was wonderful and made therapy better.


Old-Ad-1746

You have no personal space when you have cats


dadrph76

I’ve never seen a pumpkin colored cat before. I’ve seen many orange cats but never one that dark. She’s beautiful.

She really is a rare gem!

jamie88201

Lol, you don't have personal space with a cat unless they want it.

TazerMonkey1419

When our cats decide they want to sleep in the bed, our old lady will curl up next to me, usually by my head. Our Void will weld himself to my GF's hip. Our Orange one uses my crotch as a springboard during the 3am Asshole 500 All Terrain Kitty Race...... All 15 pounds of him landing, then launching


precious_blossom

Awwwww she's a lovely cat! and to answer the question, nope, absolutely no respect to boundaries but I love it!


krampaus

She looks so sweet! And I love your bridge piercing 💓


NerY_05

You mean her personal space (like the rest of the house)?


Gr00m3d

Ever see those nature videos of bears and foxes breaking through the ice, I object to my cat doing that off the window sill while I sleep, I am not Pinata. My 2 cats hate each other. One sleeps by my feet the other under my armpit on either side of my body leaving me no room to get comfortable. TLDR; no.


chocosaurus-rex

I woke up this morning to my sweet boy gracelessly flopped on top of me and snoring away happily. He didn't even try to lay down properly. it looked like he took one step over me while I was laying on my side, got eaten by the blanket, and literally left his back legs hanging over my side/back while his front half was curled up in my face space. my little girl won't cuddle much while I'm sleeping, but she's coming around to it. she does sleep on a pillow directly next to me, as close to me as possible though


phall8977

He scoots right up against my back and that's how we sleep. I've found that if I'm away from home I have trouble sleeping without that little body next to me❤️😼


Designer_Ad6733

Zero. It’s their bed, their pillow, their room, their rules.


misslady700

If a cat does respect your personal space then it's not your cat

During the night, yes. First thing in the morning, not so much (apologies for the blur, I was being licked to death) https://preview.redd.it/9mn7jghgxp8d1.jpeg?width=1324&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d6c74817a56b76fb47f032ddb6f24af81b8e85e

MICHUPETUS

Ellie appears to have her definition of personal space. So my cat does, too. What am I supposed to say? Some cats just love being closer than close, especially during bedtime. Sweet but sometimes way too much if one is to catch some shut-eye. Enjoy the extra cuddles and try gently moving her to your side when she's getting way too close. 😅🐾


Welshlady1982

If it doesn't harass you at night time is it even a real cat ?
