Where should a cat sleep at night?

Où un chat devrait-il dormir la nuit ?

🌙 Shared bed or separate room?

This is the great debate that all "cat moms" face: should we let our kitty sleep in our bed or make them sleep in their own room? In 2026, with our increasingly connected lives, sleep is precious, both for us and for them.

The parental bed: A sign of ultimate trust If your cat chooses to sleep next to you, it means they consider you their safe base. This strengthens your emotional bond and reduces stress. However, if your cat is a fan of the "zoomies" at 3 AM, your sleep cycle may suffer.

Ideal alternatives:

  • High sleeping spots: A cat feels protected when it dominates the room. A cat tree near a window is often their first choice.

  • "Cocoon" basket: An enclosed bed (igloo style) that retains body heat is perfect for more fearful cats.

Océane's expertise: "The important thing is not the place, but consistency. If you decide the bed is off-limits, be firm from the start. To help them, place a piece of clothing with your scent in their own bed."

FAQ:

  • My cat snores, is that normal? Yes, especially in some breeds, but if it suddenly becomes loud, talk to your vet.

  • Is it dirty to sleep with your cat? If your cat is treated for parasites and vaccinated, the risk is almost zero.
