How I Finally Got My Cat to Sleep With Me
Let’s be real: convincing a cat to share your bed is like negotiating with a tiny, furry dictator. My journey? Equal parts patience, bribery, and surrender. First, I turned my apartment into a feline gym—morning and evening play sessions, plus random toy ambushes. The goal: exhaust the beast. Then, I started a bedtime routine: ten minutes of play, then a big dinner. (Pro tip: cats, like humans, get sleepy after eating.)
I made my bed a cat paradise—soft blankets, a sweatshirt that smells like me, and the occasional hidden treat. Sometimes she’d just stare from her perch, judging my life choices. But when she finally curled up beside me? Pure serotonin. Ignore the 3 a.m. face-pats and meows for food—don’t reward chaos. If she gets too wild, gentle correction (not drama) works best. And yes, older cats need extra steps and night lights.
In the end, you can’t force a cat to cuddle. But you can make it really, really tempting.
