i sleep with animals and I am a girl. Its not because I am acting akward or because the world is coming to an end it is for the safty. I have a dog that sleeps on my bed all night and I know that if anything was to happen she would wake me up and protect me. My cats on the other hand are for comfort. Before I moved In with my boyfriend I would sllep with my cats because they are cuddley and they love the attention. i love my cats. Now that I live with him I dont sleep with my cats much because their is not much room but the dog still sleeps with us. Its love for my pets, security and comfort. If someone loves their animals why not allow them to sleep with you and feel loved?
