Does your cat let you sleep/nap not facing them? (lemmy.world)

Just curious. If we're sharing the bed and I roll to not face her, my cat yells and marches over in front of whatever side I'm now facing and if there's not enough room, that's a problem for me to fix.

Just curious if this is standard cat behaviour or another adorably needy quirk of mine?

Mine will only sleep on my hip. If I roll over and he falls off? Back on other hip.

Similar, but with my feet/ankles. She wants to be close, but isn’t a big fan of petting. I’m not always great at respecting that desire, so we compromise like this.

I've yet to meet a cat that doesn't love a well done headscritch.

I have two cats, one does this.

If I adjust at all he jumps off the bed, grumbles and runs to the hallway. Then he glares at me from the darkness until he’s sure I won’t move again and comes back to sit in the exact same position.

That seems wild but adorable.
